Multi-touch Panel Testing

Multi-touch Panel Testing

When the human body is close to the touchpad, the capacitance value between the sensing pad and the ground will change (general pf level). Capacitive touch pad (also known as: Surface capacitive) is through the use of the sensor detected by the change of capacitance value by calculating microprocessor, filtering interference and finally determining whether there is a human body close to achieve the key function. Compared with the traditional mechanical keys, the advantage is that there is no mechanical damage, and non-metals such as glass, acrylic, plastic can be used as the operating panel isolation, making the appearance of the product more atmospheric. In contrast, it can also realize the sliding operation that is difficult to achieve with traditional mechanical keys, so that the human-machine interface is more in line with the intuitive operation of people.

The outermost layer of the capacitive touch panel is a thin silicon dioxide hardening processing layer, and its hardness reaches 7; The second layer is ITO(conductive coating), through the conductive layer on the front of the average distribution of low-voltage conduction current, to establish a uniform electric field on the glass surface, when the finger touches the surface of the touch panel, it will absorb a small amount of current from the contact point, resulting in a voltage drop of the corner electrode, the use of sensing the weak current of the human body to achieve the purpose of touch; The function of the bottom layer of ITO is to shield electromagnetic waves, so that the touch panel can work in a good environment without interference. While the projective capacitive, which is the touch mode used by the famous Apple iPhone and Windows 7, has the feature of supporting multi-touch, which can shorten the user's learning time, just use the finger belly touch panel to avoid the use of stylus, and has higher light transmission and more power saving, more scratch resistance than resistive type (hardness up to 7H or more), greatly increase the service life without correction...

Touch technology can be divided into four kinds according to the principle of sensing, including resistive, capacitive, surface acoustic wave and optics. And capacitive can also be divided into surface capacitive and projected capacitive two kinds.

Touch technology applications:

Industrial applications (automatic processing machines, measuring instruments, centralized monitoring and control)

Commercial applications (ticketing systems, POS, ATMs, vending machines, stored value machines)

Life applications (cell phones, satellite positioning GPS, UMPC, small laptop)

Education and entertainment (e-books, portable game consoles, jukeboxes, electronic dictionaries)

Comparison of touch panel light transmission rate: resistive (85%), capacitive (93%)
