Introduction to Capacitive Touch Glass
Capacitive touch glass is a technology widely used in modern touch screens found in smartphones, tablets, and various interactive panels. Unlike resistive touch screens that rely on pressure, capacitive technology operates on the concept of touch sensitivity using the electrical properties of the human body.
Working Principle of Capacitive Touch Glass
The core principle behind capacitive touch sensors is the ability to detect electrical capacitance. When a user touches the screen, the system registers the change in capacitance at the point of contact.
Capacitive touch glass typically includes a transparent layer of indium tin oxide (ITO) underneath the glass. This conductive layer forms the sensor grid. The system utilizes an AC signal, which establishes an electrical field across the screen.
When a finger approaches the screen, it disrupts and alters the electrostatic field, causing a measurable change in capacitance which is detected by a controller. This data is then processed to identify the exact location of the touch.
Technical Specifications
A typical capacitive touch screen might include the following specifications:
- Touchpoints: Supports 10 touchpoints simultaneously.
- Capacitance Range: 10pF to 15pF typical sensitivity.
- Transparency: Greater than 90%.
- Operating Temperature: -20°C to 70°C.
- Response Time: Less than 10 milliseconds.
- Cover Glass Thickness: Up to 6mm with sensitivity adaptation.
