When comparing and contrasting the principles of resistive and capacitive touch screens, you can see that of them have some advantages and disadvantages.

One advantage of a resistive touch screen is that it can be used with objects other than a finger, gloves, and the user doesn’t need to be earthed. , it needs to be touched with some pressure, which then wears away its layers and circuitry. What is , you use hard pressure, it only senses touch at one point on the screen.

a resistive touch screen, a capacitive touch screen senses touch at more than one point. advantage is that only light touch is needed. As a result, its durability is quite long. with the resistive touch screen, its clarity is better.
, just with a resistive one, a capacitive touch screen has some disadvantages as . Both the touch screens can be easily scratched with a sharp object. In , with the capacitive type, a finger can be used, so gloves can’t be worn. , in with the resistive one, the user of a capacitive touch screen must be ‘earthed’ (i.e. not wearing rubber boots).
