Capacitive Touchscreen

A capacitive touchscreen is a type of display that detects touch using the electrical properties of the human body. When you touch the screen, your finger disrupts the electric field on the surface, allowing the device to identify the precise location of your touch. This technology allows for multi-touch gestures, such as pinching to zoom. Capacitive touchscreens are commonly found in smartphones and tablets because they provide a responsive and smooth experience, unlike older technologies like resistive touchscreens that require pressure to register a touch.
