Four-wire, five-wire, six-wire, and eight-wire resistive screens are different in design and function, mainly reflected in their working principles, characteristics, lifespan, and application scenarios. When selecting a resistive screen, the most appropriate type needs to be determined based on specific application needs and technical requirements.
4 wire resistive touch screen: 4 wires, located in the four corners of the screen. When the screen is touched, a circuit is formed between these wires to determine the location of the touch point.
5 wire resistive touch screen: 5 wires, 4 of which are in the four corners of the screen and the fifth in the center. This type of screen is more accurate than a 4-wire resistive touch screen, can detect multi-touch, and responds faster.
6 wire resistive touch screen: Similar to a 5-wire resistive touch screen, but with two wires above and two below the screen. This type of screen can provide better precision and response speed, and can detect multi-touch, which is more accurate than 5 wire resistive touchscreen.
8 wire resistive touch screen: 8 wires, located at the four corners and four midpoints of the screen. This type of screen is often used in high precision applications such as medical equipment and industrial controls. It offers greater accuracy and sensitivity, and can detect more touch points, but also costs more.
