This is the same technology that is used in tablets and smartphones & is now the leading type of touch technology. The touchscreen is made up from a layer of conductive material which is layered on sheets of glass which creates a uniform electrostatic field. When any conductive object, such as finger, comes into contact with the screen it distorts the electrostatic field and at that position the result is registered as a touch point. This type of touch screen technology is more robust than Resistive touchscreen technology that relies on pressure & is also more reliable than IR (Infrared) touchscreen technology that can suffer from interference from ambient light & reflections etc. PCAP technology also works with gloved hands or styluses and enables multi-touch points with smooth gesture recognition. PCAP touchscreens can be manufactured with a tempered edge-to-edge glass front which creates a better looking, more streamlined aesthetic that also makes these screens easier to clean. To ensure optimum performance with PCAP touch screens the surface of the screen should be kept clear of any moisture or high levels of dust that may cause interference.
