Display Technology Used In Smartphones

Display Technology in smartphones

Traditional input devices for computer systems include keyboards and mice. In recent
years, touchscreen technology has become widely used as a way to interact with computer
systems, particular for mobile devices
A touchscreen is an electronic visual display that a user can control by touching the screen with one
or more fingers. A touchscreen allows for a much more direct interaction with what is displayed
compared to a device like a mouse. Touchscreens have become very common on tablet computers,
smart phones and other mobile devices. Increasingly, regular laptop and desktop computers use
touchscreen displays so users can use both touch as well as more traditional ways of input.
The idea of using a touchscreen goes back to the early days of computing in the 1960s. Most
systems remained very experimental until the 1990s, when a number of commercial systems
became successful
The first major technology that became successful is resistive touchscreen technology. This uses a
panel that consists of several layers, including two thin, electrically charged layers separated by
a thin space. By pressing on the panel, these two layers touch and the location of the connection is
recorded as the input. Resistive touchscreens are relatively cheap and very resistant to liquids. The
major downsides are that you need to actually press down with a certain amount of pressure and
they have relatively poor contrast. As a result, resistive touchscreens did not become widely used
for computer systems but instead were developed as part as other electronic systems. For
example, the display screens used in restaurants to enter orders and control panels in factories
are often made of resistive touchscreens.
The second major technology used in touchscreens is capacitive sensing. A capacitive touchscreen
uses a layer of insulating material (such as glass) coated with a transparent conductor. The human
body is also an electrical conductor, so touching the screen with your finger results in a change in
the electrostatic field of the screen. A number of different approaches can be used to record the
location of the touch. One of the most common ways is to use a fine grid of capacitors, which
record the change in the electrostatic field. These capacitors are organized by rows and columns,
and they function independently of each other. This makes it possible to record multiple touches at
the same time, known as multi-touch technology.
