A resistive touch screen works by using two thin, transparent layers separated by a small gap. When pressure is applied to the screen—whether by finger, stylus, or gloved hand—the top layer bends to touch the bottom layer. This contact causes a change in electrical resistance, allowing the system to detect the precise location of the touch.
4-wire resistive touch screens are a cost-effective solution suitable for simple applications, but their accuracy may decline over time due to wear on the top layer. In contrast, 5-wire resistive touch screens offer greater durability and stable performance, making them ideal for demanding environments like industrial control and medical devices.
When your budget is limited and touch interface is small, 4 wire resistive touch would be a better choice.
5-wire resistive touch screens is more suitable for large screen and applications which needs better light transmittance rate,touch sensitivity,and longer life time.
RTP sizes ranges from 2.4" to 15", we have ready in mass production resistive touch screen available for most TFT LCD. Maxen provide LCD screens with suitable RTP assembled as complete touch solution, so that you can just integrate the touch interface and tft interface into controller board with our provided datasheet and communication protocols.
