Infrared and ultrasonic touch panels are placed on one side of the X-axis and γ-axis of the screen. Infrared or ultrasonic source, and the receiving source is installed on the other side. When the user touches the screen, the movement of the infrared or ultrasonic wave is disturbed, and the touch input is completed by measuring and confirming the disturbed position coordinates. The resistive touch panel is formed by laminating two sets of upper and lower ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) conductive films. After the upper and lower electrodes are turned on by the pressure ®, the position of the contact point is calculated by the controller to detect the voltage change of the panel for input. . The capacitive touch panel is composed of transparent glass coated with an oxidized metal on the surface, and the sensing structure is generally composed of two electrode layers electrically connected to the X-axis direction and the y-axis direction, respectively, between the two electrode layers. There is an insulating layer (Insulating Spacer), which provides voltage from its four corners and forms a uniform electric field on the surface of the glass, and detects the input coordinates by the capacitance change caused by the electrostatic reaction between the user's finger and the electric field.
