Which one is better, the difference between capacitive screen and resistance screen?

1. Different Working Principles
Resistive Touchscreens : Composed of two transparent layers (ITO film and ITO glass). When pressure is applied (e.g., by a finger or stylus), the contact between the two ITO layers generates a current change, allowing the CPU to calculate the precise touch position.
Capacitive Touchscreens : The human body, the screen surface, and electrodes at the four corners form a coupling capacitor. A touch disrupts this capacitive field, enabling position detection.
2. Precision and Sensitivity
Resistive Touchscreens : Offer higher precision—even a tiny pressure on a single pixel can be accurately detected.
Capacitive Touchscreens : Excel in sensitivity, responding instantly to light finger contact without pressure.
3. User Experience
Capacitive touchscreens provide a significantly smoother and more intuitive user experience compared to resistive screens.
 4. Pros and Cons
Resistive Touchscreens :
Pros : Work with any hard object (stylus, glove, nail); durable against drops (no shattering).
Cons : Require pressure; soft surface prone to scratches; no multi-touch support.
Capacitive Touchscreens :
Pros : Hard glass surface resists scratches; supports multi-touch gestures.
Cons : Fragile (may crack on impact); requires conductive input (finger/special stylus).
5. Selection Guidance
Choose between resistive and capacitive based on:
Input method (pressure vs. touch)
Light transmittance
EMI resistance
Lifespan
Design aesthetics
Cost constraints
Environmental factors (e.g., glove compatibility)
