5-Wire Resistive Touch Screen

The 5 wire resistive touch screen provides outstanding endurance and reliability compared to the older 4-wire, 6-wire and 8-wire resistive touch screens. 
In terms of touch endurance, the 5 wire touch screen is guaranteed for 35 million touches, resulting in the highest reliability. 
Different from the common resistive film method, electrodes on the glass enhance the touch-responding reliability. 
Accuracy is maintained even if the film surface is damaged. With the endurance for repeated touches on the same spot exceeding 35 million times, it can be used for applications where a resistive touch screen could not be adopted previously. Response is also faster and more accurate. 
Generally a resistive touch screen is formed through a drying process. But the 5 wire resistive touch screen is produced by fusing electrodes of more than 4H directly on the glass surface to provide resistance to humidity, cold and heat . This is a very reliable production method. 
While a common 4-wire/6-wire/8-wire resistive touch screen requires re-calibration due to the stress on the film side, a 5 wire film does not use coordinates on the film side and hence forms and maintains stable coordinates, so that calibration is required only while setting up the system and thus a very effective maintenance-free environment is provided.
