1. Capacitive touch screens only need touch, not pressure to generate signals.

2. Capacitive touch screen requires only one or no calibration after production, while resistive technology requires regular calibration.

3. The life of the capacitive solution will be longer because the components in the capacitive touch screen do not need any movement. In resistive touch screens, the upper ITO film needs to be thin enough to be flexible enough to bend down to contact the underlying ITO film.

4. Capacitive technology is superior to resistive technology in light loss and system power consumption.

5. The choice of capacitive or resistive technology mainly depends on the object touching the screen. If it is finger touch, capacitive touch screen is a better choice. If you need a stylus, whether plastic or metal, a resistive touchscreen will do the trick. Capacitive touchscreens can also use a stylus, but a special stylus is required.

6. Surface capacitive type can be used for large-size touch screens, and the compatibility is low, but it cannot support gesture recognition at present: Inductive capacitive type is mainly used for small and medium-sized touch screens, and can support gesture recognition.

7. The capacitive technology is wear-resistant and has a long service life, and the maintenance cost is low when the user uses it, so the overall operating cost of the manufacturer can be further reduced.

8. Capacitive touch screen is able to support multi-touch technology, and it is not as slow as resistive touch screen and not easy to wear.
