Freescale Semiconductor announced the industry’s first solution that combines gesture recognition on resistive screen technology and capacitive touch sensing in a single integrated circuit. This ...

Anyone who has tried to use a multi-touch touchscreen with anything other than their bare skin will know that it’s just not possible, no matter how hard you press. That’s because the capacitance ...

In the touchscreen pecking order, resistive panels have found themselves with a bad rap compared to their fashionable capacitive cousins. However, Fujitsu is hoping to change all that, with a range of ...

RIM have applied for a patent which details a hybrid touchscreen, combining both resistive and capacitive elements to improve accuracy as well as support multitouch, gestures and other functionality.

Increasingly, engineers are designing touch screens into their portable devices, Figure 1. Although battery technologies are becoming more efficient, it is critical to keep the power dissipation of ...

Resistive touch technology works by sensing direct pressure. Commonly used in touch-screen displays, a resistive touch-screen is typically activated by pressing with a finger or stylus. A resistive ...

An analog, resistive touchscreen is a sensor consisting of two opposing layers, each coated with a transparent resistive material. The layers are separated by small spacer dots of nonconductive ...

We just got a look at some amazing touchscreen interaction, running on a humble resistive touchscreen with some OMAP hardware backing it up. Stantum's technology is a software-based refinement to ...

Adjusting the volume dial on a sound system, sensing your finger position on a touch screen, and knowing when someone’s in the car are just a few examples of where you encounter variable resistors in ...

At Nintendo's Switch press conference today, the company revealed that its upcoming gaming console will have -- wait for it -- a capacitive touch screen. This is a pretty big move for Nintendo, which ...
