Resistive touchscreens are a type of display technology that registers touch through pressure. They consist of two thin, transparent layers separated by a small gap. When pressure is applied to the top layer, it makes contact with the bottom layer, creating an electrical circuit that registers the touch. This technology is commonly used in devices like ATM machines and industrial equipment. One of the main advantages of resistive touchscreens is their ability to work with any pointing device, including fingers, styluses, or gloves. However, they typically offer lower clarity and responsiveness compared to capacitive touchscreens, which rely on the electrical properties of the human body.
