Resistive Touchscreens
A standard resistive touch screen is a two-layer structure – a top layer composed of flexible PET film and a bottom layer composed of glass. A current is run through the two layers and when the top layer is pressed, it flexes and contacts the lower layer, creating a change in voltage and registering a touch.
Dignity’s resistive touch solutions are cost-effective, EMI-resistant, and reliable. With more than a decade of resistive touch screen development and production experience, Dignity can provide a solution for those applications that require cost-sensitivity or other considerations that make project capacitive technology unsuited.

Product Structure
Film - Glass 4-Wire - Film Glass construction (FG) is the most common resistive product structure, whereby an outer layer of PET and an inner layer of ITO-coated glass are held apart by a series of micro-dot spacers. Both layers have a slight electrical charge, and when the two layers are pressed together, a circuit is created, allowing the device to register a touch and the touch location.
