Capacitive Touchscreen

A Capacitive Touchscreen is a display that consist of a non-conductive protective layer, typically glass, coated with a transparent conductive layer. Whenever something, for example, a user’s finger, distorts that layer’s electrostatic field, the touch input controller can detect this distortion as a change in capacitance and translate the touch input into coordinates a device’s firmware can use to perform an action.
