Touch screen monitors will probably replace the monitors we’re using today. A regular monitor will only show the images from the computer but these ones can act like an output device and also like an input device. These monitors could replace our LCDs/CRT monitors and even the keyboard or mouse too. Touch screens use a graphical user interface that is sensitive to touch and they recognize every touch through several methods like: resistive, capacitive, infrared and acoustic wave.

Resistive touch screens are probably the most durable because they will still work after the screen is scratched even though it will reduce their efficiency. Some screens use ultrasonic waves that pass over the panel and when the monitor is touched the wave is absorbed and measured to identify the location of the touch. The capacitive touch screens use an electrical charge that is soaked up when people touch the panel.

Touch screens could be the future of computers. Replacing the normal monitor, mouse and keyboard they are really close to turn them into real computers that don’t need wires, or too many space. You could learn more about these screens and different technology standards like ISO 14443 at Elactec, a company that also deals with card encoding. DONOTCHANGE
