Linearity Analysis and Experimental Verification for Resistive Touch Screen Sensors

Article Preview

Abstract:

Linearity is a critical parameter to describe positioning errors of touch screens. This paper focuses on a four-wire resistive-type touch screen sensor and tries to find the main factors affecting its linearity. By using the electric field simulation module of ANSYS software, node voltages of conductive layer were analyzed. The mathematical relations between the linearity and individual factors of touch sensor were established and the main factors affecting linearity were identified. Based on optimized sensor parameters, a set of 2.5 inch four-wire resistive touch screen sensors were manufactured and tested with a linearity testing machine. Experimental results show that simulation results and testing results on linearity satisfy the consistency criterion and the analysis results are reliable.
