Capacitive touchscreen technology
consists of a layer of glass coated
with a transparent conductor (like
indium tin oxide). When a capacitive
touchscreen is touched by human
body (finger), an interruption is
created in the screens electrostatic
field (which is measurable as a
change in capacitance) which is
detected by phone’s processor or
chip and which in turn instructs
phone’s operating system to trigger
and event or action accordingly.
Capacitive touchsceens are much
better and responsive to human
touch when compared to resistive
touchsceens and hence the user
experience for touch is much better
with capacitive touchscreens.
