A 5-Wire Resistive touchscreen is coated with a thin metallic electrically conductive and resistive layer that causes a change in the electrical current which is registered as a touch even and sent to the controller for processing. Resistive touch panels are generally more affordable but offer only 75% clarity and layer can be damaged by sharp objects. Resistive touchscreens are not affected by outside elements such as dust or water. Generally in the analogue resistive technology, top layer acts as a probe detecting the other axis(X or Y) and this structure, as the top layer gets worn out, may degrade the linearity and the accuracy of detecting coordinates with long time use. 5-wire resistive technology is to complement these weak points and here are its structure and the operating principles.




As shown above, 5-wire technology utilizes the bottom substrate for both X & Y axes' potential measurements. All the electrodes are placed on the bottom layer and the top layer acts only as a voltage measuring probe. This basic design difference of the structure leads to much more durable and stable characteristics and it works properly even with non-uniformity in the top layer's conductive coating.
Advantages of 5-Wire Resistive
- Superior accuracy, performance, durability
- Finger, gloved-hand, and pen for data entering
- Strong resistance to external static electricity and noises in poor conditions
- Clean original images by using films with excellent transmission
