Difference between Resistive and Capacitive Touch Screen


Resistive Touch Screen: 

1. Resistive Touch screen made by using three layers, in these three layers, plastic and glass layer plays important role.

2.Both this glass and plastic layers placed opposite to each other with air gap between them,When you touches on the screen this two layers conduct with each other and current flow occurs..

3. It is cheaper compared to Capacitive Touch screen.

4. Resistive Touch screen is old technology and it is easy to use with the help of stylus, fingers and pen.

5. The disadvantage of Resistive Touch screen is, it is not visible in sun light area and it is easily insecure to the scratches compared to Capacitive Touch screen.

Capacitive Touch Screen:

1. Capacitive Touch screen is made by using glass layer which is coated with the help of material.

2. working of the Capacitive Touch screen is different from Resistive Touch screen, it is highly sensitive to human body compared to Resistive Touch screen.

3. Capacitive Touch screen is costlier compared to Resisitive Touch Screen.

4. Capacitive Touch screen is a new technology and  it does not work with the help of stylus, pen, nails compared to Resisitive Touch Screen.

5.  Capacitive Touch screen is visible in sun light area and it supports Multi touch screen feature.


Conclusion: Resistive Touch screen is having low cost and less sensitive compared to Capacitive Touch screen which is highly sensitive. The main advantage of Resistive Touch screen is, we can use it with the help of stylus or pen or fingers, where as capacitive touch screen does not work with the help of stylus.


If you are interested to use touch screen mobile only with the help of fingers then use capacitive Touch screen, if you want to use stylus or pen then you need to use resistive touch screen mobile. If you are already having touch screen mobile then you can find out whether your touch mobile is capacitive one or resistive one with the help of this trick. If your touch mobile is working with the help of stylus or pen then your touch mobile is resistive touch mobile, if your phone is not working with the help of stylus then your mobile is capacitive touch screen mobile.
