A touch panel is a piece of equipment that lets users interacts with a computer by touching the
screen directly. Incorporating features into the monitor like sensors that detect touch actions
makes it possible to issue instructions to a computer by having it sense the position of a finger or
stylus. Essentially, it becomes a device fusing the two functions of display and input.
Touch panel technologies can be found in current digital devices like smartphones, slate devices
like iPad, digital cameras, bank ATMs, photocopiers, etc.
Triangulation is a method of finding our distance and position by measuring the distance
between two fixed points and then measuring the angle from each of these to the third point.
S= 1/2 (a + b +c)
__________________
a = b2 + c2 - 2bc x COS ()
_____________________________
A = 12.5 x (12.5-5) x (12.5-8) x 12.5-12)
_________________
A = 12.5 x 7.5 x 4.5 x 0.5
_______
A = 210.9375
A = 14.5237 square units
The data obtained from triangulation is sent to software which dictates response to the touch.
Panels last for a long time as only a light touch is needed to register an input
Performance can be affected by direct sunlight or reflections from wet and shiny surfaces.
Multi-touch performance not accurate due to ghosting (limited number of image sensor).
Costly
