What are the Interesting Facts about Touch Screens?
Touch screens technology has taken its own sweet time to make an
impressionable difference; but, when it did, it’s here to stay. Today, we
see the touch screen technology being adopted virtually everywhere
from mobile phones to stores, kiosks, restaurants, airplanes, schools,
and hospitals. We at VRS Technologies offer Touch Screen Rental
Dubai for its extensive use in retails stores, events, businesses, kiosks
etc.
Fun facts about touchscreen technology:
1. Touchscreens date back to 1960s: Though the touchscreens are
garnering popularity very recently, the technology has come into
existence decades ago. The single-touchscreen was invented by E.A.
Johnson at Royal Radar Establishment in Malvern, UK. His invention
was adopted and used until 1990 at UK air traffic controllers.
2. Two types of touch screens – resistive touch and the capacitive
touch screens: There are basically two types of touchscreen
technologies – the resistive touch and the capacitive touch.
The resistive touchscreens are more often found at ATM centers and
supermarkets. Resistive touch screens can handle only single touch,
however, are more durable and consistent.
3. Human body acts as an electric conductor on the capacitive touch
screens: The capacitive touchscreens use the human fingers which
operate on the touch screen as the conductors of electricity. The glass
on the capacitive touchscreen is coated with a transparent conductor
like indium tin oxide. When a human finger touches a part of the
capacitive touchscreen, the electrically charged particles on the screen
flow through the finger to complete the circuit, thereby creating a
voltage drop at the place of the touch. The software then handles the
voltage drop at the specific place to carry out the respective function.
4. Multi-touch was invented much later in the 1980s: First developed
in 1982 in University of Toronto, Canada and later developed at Bell
Labs, the USA in 1984; the multi-touch screen technology we use
extensively today on the smartphones is the augmentation of these
inventions.
5. Touchscreen mobiles were launched way back in the 1990s: Though
it is the touchscreen technology on the first iPhone in 2007 that created
the revolution, the first touchscreen mobile device was launched way
back in 1993 at IBM and BellSouth.
At VRS Technologies, we offer touch screen rentals in Dubai to meet
the growing need of touchscreens across industries. Visit our website
