Touchscreen interactive devices have become increasingly important in both consumer and commercial applications. This paper provides a broad overview of all touchscreen technologies in use today, organized into 13 categories with 38 variations. The 13 categories are projected capacitive, analog resistive, surface capacitive, surface acoustic wave, infrared, camera-based optical, liquid crystal display in-cell, bending wave, force sensing, planar scatter detection, vision-based, electromagnetic… Expand

TLDR
This work presents an overview of simply structured touch interfaces for multidimensional (x-y location, force and temperature) sensing enabled by piezoelectric, piezoresistive, triboelectrics, pyroelectric and thermOElectric materials. Expand
A Wearable Textile 2D Touchpad Sensor Based on Screen-Printing Technology
TLDR
A textile touchpad based on a diamond pattern design using screen printing technology has been developed, which is widely used in the textile industry and therefore does not require heavy investments. Expand
Touchscreen tags based on thin-film electronics for the Internet of Everything
TLDR
It is shown that commercial touchscreens can be used as reader interfaces for capacitive coupled data transfer and the transfer of data to the touchscreen is achieved using a 12-bit thin-film capacitive radio frequency identification tag powered by athin-film battery or a thin- film photovoltaic cell that converts light from the screen.

Super-Resolution Capacitive Touchscreens
TLDR
This paper shows how super-resolution techniques, long used in fields such as biology and astronomy, can be applied to capacitive touchscreen data and opens the door to passive tangibles with higher-density fiducials and also recognition of every-day metal objects, such as keys and coins. Expand
A Touch Sensing Technique Using the Effects of Extremely Low Frequency Fields on the Human Body
TLDR
This paper presents a passive touch sensing technique based on the fact that the human body is affected by the surrounding extremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic fields, such as those of AC power lines, resulting in what is called AC hum. Expand
Bend, stretch, and touch: Locating a finger on an actively deformed transparent sensor array
TLDR
A stretchable, transparent touch pad and proximity sensor made using silicone and gel operates while being bent and stretched using stretchable and ionically conductive hydrogel electrodes, which project electric field above the sensor to couple with and sense a finger. Expand
Large scale optical multi-touch system based on sub-wavelength grating couplers
The current multi-touch interactions are mainly relying on the contact between objects and diplay screens, which is restricted in a two dimensional plane. To expand the dimension of human-machine… Expand
