Resistive is one of the common touchscreen technologies in the world.
Resistive touchscreen monitor contains a glass panel, a film screen on the outer side, each covered with a thin metallic layer, separated by a narrow gap. The film screen normally made with polyester.
When a user touches the screen, the two metallic layers make contact, resulting in electrical flow. The point of contact is detected by this change in voltage.
