Resistive touch technology is a type of touchscreen that detects input through pressure. It consists of two flexible layers separated by a small gap. When a user presses on the screen, the layers touch each other, creating a change in electrical resistance that the device interprets as a touch event. This technology is commonly used in devices like ATM machines and industrial equipment. One advantage of resistive touchscreens is their ability to work with any pointing device, including fingers, styluses, or gloves. However, they typically offer lower clarity and sensitivity compared to capacitive touchscreens, which rely on the electrical properties of the human body.
