Capacitive touch screens are made of single or multiple layers of material that are coated with a conductor such as indium tin oxide... When another electrical conductor, like a bare fingertip or a stylus, touches the surface, an electric circuit is completed at that location. Sensors embedded in the glass then detect the location of the flow of current, which is then registered as a touch event. 3, record 1, English, - capacitive%20touch%20screen

Le principe de l'écran tactile capacitif. Quand le doigt, conducteur d'électricité (parce qu'il est humide), touche l'écran, des charges électriques lui sont transférées. Des systèmes de mesure placés aux quatre coins de l'écran détectent la valeur de cette perte de charge et la comparaison entre les quatre capteurs indique l'emplacement du point de contact. 2, record 1, French, - %C3%A9cran%20tactile%20capacitif

A resistive touch screen is made of two transparent layers of glass or plastic, each coated with a conducting layer of indium tin oxide(ITO). The conducting sides face one another and are separated by an air gap. When pressure is applied by the user, the top layer bends and touches the bottom layer. This causes a small amount of current to flow at the point where they connect. The location of the touch event can then be measured by the sensors. 3, record 2, English, - resistive%20touch%20screen

Un écran tactile résistif est composé de deux niveaux de matériau conducteur qui sont séparés par un espace vide très mince. Quand on presse sur la première couche métallisée, en plastique souple, elle entre en contact avec la seconde, qui est habituellement en verre ou en plastique dur, et l'électronique permet de déterminer la position approximative du point de contact. 2, record 2, French, - %C3%A9cran%20tactile%20r%C3%A9sistif
