Touchscreens
Touch panels enhance the way that a user interfaces with a device by combining the interactive function and the viewing function into one area. They can be used in most display products to improve the user experience.
The two main types of touch panel available are projective capacitive touch panels (PCAP), and resistive touch panels (RTP). The type of panel used is determined by the application environment and requirements. In addition to Midas Display’s solutions, we also provide Click-Touch, Mildex (for military applications), and DMC options amongst others.

Resistive Touch Panels
Resistive touchscreens respond to pressure, so a harder contact is required with this technology. These panels don’t rely on the organic properties that we have in our fingers, which gives more options for the interaction with the panel. This means that you can wear gloves when using a resistive touch panel, making them ideal for different applications than capacitive touch.
A resistive touch panel is made up of several layers, so when you apply pressure to the panel with something such as a stylus, or your finger, the top layer flexes and pushes onto another layer behind it.
Midas different types of resistive touch panel:
