Touch Panel Technology for LCD and Other Displays

Foundations
- 1.1 Welcome: the display shows; the touch system senses
- 2.1 The simple comparison: benefits, compromises and selection
Sensing technologies
- 3.1 Resistive touch: a press becomes a voltage

- 5.1 Projected capacitive: electric fields, electrodes and touch maps
- 6.1 Infrared beam grids: locating an interrupted path
- 7.1 Optical sensing and ShadowSense™: locating shadows
- 8.1 Surface acoustic wave: listening to a disturbance
- 9.1 Acoustic pulse and bending-wave sensing
- 10.1 Pen digitizers: EMR, active pens and passive styluses
- 11.1 Force sensing, haptics and touchless extensions
Integration
- 12.1 LCD, OLED, microLED and other display architectures
- 13.1 Optical and mechanical integration
- 14.1 Controllers, drivers, USB HID and embedded interfaces
- 15.1 Tuning, diagnostics and meaningful verification
Applications
- 16.1 Commercial and public-facing displays
- 17.1 Industrial systems: gloves, contamination and uptime
