by eN-touch Team | Feb 19, 2015 | Touch Screen Solutions, Touchscreen News | No matter how hard you try to prevent it, fingerprints and smudges will inevitably form on your touchscreen device. After all, the fundamental principle behind touchscreen technology is that you can operate it through touch. While the presence of fingerprints shouldn’t cause any damage or harm […]
by eN-touch Team | Apr 24, 2015 | Touch Screen Solutions | While capacitive and resistive touchscreens continue to dominate the market, newer technologies have emerged in recent years that may change this trend. One such technology is infrared (IR), which uses invisible, radiant energy with a longer wavelength spectrum that visible light. Many touchscreen devices have begun to […]
by eN-touch Team | Mar 26, 2015 | Touch Screen Solutions | Not to be confused with resistive touchscreens, capacitive touchscreens are constructed with an insulator (i.e. glass) that’s coated with a conducting material such as indium tin oxide. It receives its namesake based on the way in which it identifies points of contact. While resistive touchscreens measure changes in […]

There’s no better way to keep your hands warm on an otherwise cool autumn morning than by wearing a pair of thick, insulated gloves. But […]
by eN-touch Team | Jun 30, 2016 | Touch Screen Solutions | It’s no secret that most smartphones, tablets and other touchscreen devices on the market today typically use one of two different touch technologies: resistive or capacitive. If you keep with our blog here at En-Touch, you probably have a general understanding of each technology and how […]
by eN-touch Team | Dec 28, 2016 | Touch Screen Solutions | Touchscreen devices typically use either resistive or capacitive technology. However, there are several different subtypes of capacitive, each of which has its own unique characteristics and properties. To learn more about the different capacitance technologies used in touchscreen devices, keep reading. Surface Capacitance Surface capacitance is a […]
by eN-touch Team | Oct 2, 2015 | Touch Screen Solutions | If you keep up with our blog here at En-Touch, you are probably familiar with the two primary types of touchscreen technology: resistive and capacitive. While each type has its own unique advantages and disadvantages, capcitive has become the preferred choice among smartphone and tablet manufacturers. They offer an […]
by eN-touch Team | Feb 9, 2016 | Touch Screen Solutions, Touchscreen News | Touchscreen technology has come a long ways over the years, but Apple Inc. is looking to push the envelope even further with its latest concept. The iPhone-maker was granted a patent (#9250734) for a touchscreen device that allows users to control it without ever touching. It […]
by eN-touch Team | Oct 5, 2016 | Touch Screen Solutions | Touchscreen devices are characterized by touch-based input/commands. Instead of using a physical button or knob, operators can control the device by touching digital icons on the interface. While this general concept is followed by all touchscreen devices, there are subtle nuances regarding the specific type of touchscreen […]
Resistive touchscreens are characterized by the use of two flexible sheets of material (usually made of glass or film) that are coated with a resistive material and separated by air or microdots. When you press against the front of a resistive touchscreen, the two sheets make contact, at which point a grid of vertical and […]
