In this industry of cell phones exists two types of touchscreens displays. One type of display is the display with resistive touchscreen and the other one is the display with capacitive touchscreen. Resistive touchscreen displays are composed of multiple layers that are separated by thin spaces. Pressure applied to the surface of the display by a finger or stylus causes the layers to touch, which completes electrical circuits and tells the device where the user is touching. As such, resistive type touchscreens require much more pressure to activate than capacitive touchscreens.
