What are the conductive materials for touch monitors

As the touch screen， the most important is the touch function and the conductive materials for touch monitors. Touch function chip is a common input device with touch function, and its material has a lot of different demand scenarios can choose different materials. In the field of industrial touch screens， according to application scenarios, touch sensitivity, durability, cost and other factors to consider， the general choice is resistive materials, of course, in other touch screen areas we also have a lot of choices.

What are the conductive materials for touch monitors？

1. ITO conductive film

It is a kind of PET film, has good flexibility, and can be applied to touch control keys. In addition, ito conductive film also has the advantages of high transparency, moderate conductivity, curved surface design, lower cost, etc., and can be applied to wearable devices, such as smart watches, of course, it can also be applied to flexible screen, but ito conductive film is less wear-resistant, may be prone to scratching.

2. ITO conductive glass

Touch function film is one of the conductive materials for touch monitors，which is usually used with high light transmittance and high strength conductive glass material. This glass material has high transparency and excellent conductive properties, its transmission rate is good, can be more high-definition display screen, because of its good conductivity, so the touch is very sensitive, has high precision, can support ten-point touch, usually used in mobile phones, tablet PCs, touch monitors. Its disadvantage is the higher cost, due to the high hardness and scratch resistance, its bending performance is weak.

3. Metal Mesh

As the conductive materials for touch monitors， this material’s conductive properties are superior, with higher light transmittance, so the touch is more accurate, and its bending resistance is good, so it can be adapted to large-size touch panels, smart home appliances and other fields. But its process is complex and may produce more.

4. Resistive touch materials

The resistive material touch function sheet is more complex, generally using a combination of PET film and ITO film. This material has characteristics such as high durability and is ideal for ATMs, industrial control panels, and other equipment with high environmental requirements. In addition, its complex structure can be applied to more harsh environments, such as dust, humidity, high and low-temperature environments.
