Microchip Technology Inc., a leading provider of microcontroller, analog and Flash-IP solutions, today announced the mTouch™ AR1100 Analog Resistive USB Touch-Screen Controller. Building upon the ...

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 ...

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.

RIM's no stranger to playing different tricks with touchscreens, and it looks like it may have another up its sleeve, with a recent patent application revealing some plans for a hybrid capacitive / ...

Research in Motion has filed for a patent for a touchscreen that combines the technology behind resistive and capacitive touchscreen displays. The scren would use a dual layer resistive panel, but the ...

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 ...

Simon Flatt, Toshiba's rep at the Embedded World show said about the prototype, "What Toshiba has done is they've come up with a very clever algorithm that allows a typical resistive touch screen to ...

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 ...

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 ...

The capacitive vs. resistive touchscreen dispute has been more or less settled with the popularity of the iPhone and other lozenge-shaped touchscreen devices, but that doesn’t mean the loser has to ...
