Pros
Direct pointing to the objects. Fast Finger or pen is usable (No cable required) No keyboard necessary Suited to: novices, application for information retrieval etc
Cons
Low precision by using finger User has to sit or stand closer to the screen The screen may be covered more by using hand No direct activation to the selected function
APPLICATIONS..
Public Information Displays::: Tourism displays, Trade show display Customer Self-Services::: Stores, Restaurants, ATMs, Airline ticket terminals and Transportation hubs. More uses... Digital jukeboxes, Computerized gaming, Student Registration systems, Multimedia softwares , Scientific applications etc. Though the touch screen technology contains some limitations its very user friendly, fast, accurate, easy for the novices & fun to operate. It has been widely accepted. And now by just modifying a little it can replace the mouse and key board completely in near future.
3layers:-front and back protective glass provides optical and strength enhancement options & middle layer consists of alaminated sensor grid of micro-fine wires.
During a touch, capacitance forms between the finger and the sensor grid.
The embedded serial controller in the touch screen calculates touch location coordinates and transmits them to the computer for processing.

SOFTWARE DRIVER
The driver is a software that allows the touch screen and computer to work together. It tells the operating system how to interpret the touch event information that is sent from the controller. Most touch screen drivers today are a mouse-emulation type driver. This makes touching the screen the same as clicking your mouse at the same location on the screen. Touch sensing helps increase product lifetimes by eliminating the mechanical wear and tear associated with push buttons and switches. The Xtrinsic Touch Sensing Software (TSS) 2.5 now enables touch sensing in any ColdFire+ and Kinetis MCUs in addition to all of Freescale's 8-bit S08 or 32-bit V1. Its a snowy night, and youre about to use the ATM outside your local grocery store thats been there for years. You enter in your access code, and notice only 2 of the 4 entries are reflected on the display.
CONTROLLER
The controller is a small PC card that connects between the touch sensor and the PC. It takes information from the touch sensor and translates it into information that PC can understand. Technical Editor Robert Cravotta explores processor and software-processing architectures and the impact they have on system and software development. Relevant architectures include microprocessors, microcontrollers, digital signal processors (DSPs), multiprocessor architectures, processor fabrics, coprocessors, and accelerators, plus embedded cores in FPGAs, SOCs, and ASICs . The humidity and the temperature of the environment also affects the wear and tear seen by the resistive panel. The air trapped inside the resistive panel is maintained by adding a layer, often called spacer dots, between the flex and the stable While there are coatings and heaters and special manufacturing precautions to add to the longevity of the sensor, the sensor will eventually succumb to wear and tear and stop functioning. Its up to the touch controller to be designed with a wide window of operation so that it will continue to function for as long as possible.
TOUCH SENSOR
A touch screen sensor is a clear glass panel with a touch responsive surface which is placed over a display screen so that the responsive area of the panel covers the viewable area of the display screen.
The sensor generally has an electrical current or signal going through it and touching the screen causes a voltage or signal change. This voltage change is used to determine the location of the touch to the screen
TouchSensor Technologies designs and manufactures patented digital switches for use in touch-sensitive User Interface Panels. Much more durable than mechanical and membrane switches, TouchSensor keypads have become the new standard for solidstate switching.
Resistive touch panels are made of two sheets of conductive material. This conductive material needs to be uniformly coated on both sides. When you press a resistive panel, one side smushes into the other side

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
I take immense pleasure in thanking Brig. V.P Munjal our honrable Director, for having permitted me to carry out this project work. I wish to express my deep sense of gratitude to my internal guide Er. Priyanka for her able guidance & useful suggestions, which helped me in completing the project work in time. Finally, yet important, I would like to express my heartfeltthanks to my beloved parents for their help & wish for the Successful completion of this project.
It has a an uniform conductive coating on a glass panel. During operation, electrodes around the panel's edge evenly distribute a low voltage across the conductive layer & creates an uniform electric field. A finger touch draws current from each corner. Then the controller measures the ratio of the current flow from the corners and calculates the touch location The fact that your blood cells are capacitively coupled to one another is actually the basis for capacitive touch. Because your blood cells can form capacitors, it means that every surface of your body is capacitively coupled to every other surface. when you touch a button on your cap touch microwave oven, you are basically capacitively coupling the button to the cabinet of the microwave through your body, and potentially some of the floor, walls, and other objects in the vicinity. The basic equation for capacitance is C = eoerA/D, where C is capacitance in Farads, eo is the permittivity of free space, er is the relative permittivity of the insulator between the plates, A is the area of the smaller plate, and D is the distance between the plates.
