resistive touch technology

Resistive touch technology works by layering two thin, flexible sheets separated by a small gap. When you press on the screen, the top layer makes contact with the bottom layer at that point, completing an electrical circuit. This change is detected by the device, which interprets the location of the touch. Because it relies on physical pressure, resistive touchscreens respond to fingers, styluses, or any object, making them versatile. They are often used in applications requiring durability or high precision, such as industrial controls and older smartphones or tablets.
