capacitive touch technology

Capacitive touch technology detects when a conductive object, like a human finger, touches a screen by measuring changes in electrical charge. The screen has a transparent, conductive layer that holds an electrical charge. When you touch it, your finger alters the local electric field, changing the capacitance at that point. Sensors detect this change and interpret it as a touch input. This technology is used in smartphones and tablets for its durability, quick response, and high accuracy, allowing for smooth interaction without the need for pressure or stylus presses.
