What Is The Difference Between Capacitive Touch And Infrared Touch in Kiosk?

Jul 31, 2023

In recent years, with the rapid development of commercial displays, touch kiosks have followed the market into all walks of life, and have also brought great convenience to various users, so now you can see this kind of device in any scene . At present, touch solutions are mainly capacitive touch and infrared touch.

 

The emergence of the touch kiosk is to simplify the user's operation and make it easy to use. We can use both hands to replace the mouse and keyboard, which is very convenient. Whether it is capacitive or infrared, the most commonly used touch medium at present is hands. As long as you need to use the touch kiosk, you can directly touch and click the content on the screen to realize the interactive experience. So what is the difference between these two touch methods:

 

First, we can distinguish from the appearance. The appearance of the infrared touch all-in-one machine can be seen in the groove. Afraid of strong light interference, the kiosk looks thicker from the outside, and the price advantage is more prominent. The appearance of the capacitor kiosk is very beautiful, with a good sense of design, light and thin, and relatively better response speed and touch fluency.

 

Second, it can be distinguished from the principle of touch. The principle of infrared touch is to emit XY rays through infrared lamps. The touch point is its sensing coordinates. This product can not be disturbed by current, static electricity and voltage, and is suitable for relatively poor. It is used in an environment with high touch stability, and there is no big requirement for the touch medium, only non-transparent objects are sufficient. Capacitive touch is attached to the inside of the glass through a transparent film. When the human hand touches, the micro current of the human body is transmitted to the device through the screen for positioning and touch. Support 20-point touch, high fun to operate. It can be seen that infrared products may be accidentally touched under certain conditions, while capacitors are realized through human body current, and other media are less likely to affect the touch function.
