• Commonly used in industrial electronics, ATMs, kiosks, and medical devices.
  • Relies on pressure applied to the screen.
  • Comprises two thin layers (typically PET film and glass) separated by spacers.
  • Conductive material (indium tin oxide) lines both layers.
  • How It Works:
    • When pressure is applied (e.g., with a finger or stylus), resistance changes.
    • Sensors detect this change, and the device calculates the touch coordinates.
  • Types of Resistive Touchscreens:
    • 4-Wire Analog:
      • Top and bottom layers have perpendicular electrodes (“bushbars”).
      • Provides specific voltage readings when areas make contact.
    • 5-Wire Analog:
      • Similar to 4-wire, but with separate X and Y electrodes.
      • Improved durability and sensitivity.
    • 8-Wire Analog:
      • Combines features of 4-wire and 5-wire setups.
      • Enhanced accuracy and robustness.

RESISTIVE TOUCHSCREENS SOLUTIONS

Keyflex resistive ITO touchscreens are a cost effective, durable and flexible solution for many applications for industrial, consumer devices and medical devices.

Our planar resistive touch technology is an enhancement of the conventional resistive touchscreen. Essentially, we can incorporate hardwired switching into the front surface of the resistive touchscreen. Planar switch panels are optically bonded to the resistive layer and invisible to the touchscreen user.

Keyflex ITO touch screens can be manufactured in 4 wire, 5 wire and 8 wire resistive designs    

Resistive touch screens can be provided with or without a surrounding front decal. Resistive touch screens offer an excellent and cost effective solution for data input in many applications. Our resistive touch screens can be supplied with either a gloss or an antiglare finish. Resistive touchscreens are ideal for applications where the equipment is not used in harsh environments They can eliminate the need for keyboards and pointing devices.
