InfraredSenses touch when the infrared light grid in front of the display screen is interrupted.

Surface acousticTransducers and reflectors are used to measure changes in the reflection of ultrasonic waves when touched.

ResistiveA glass panel is covered with a conductive and a resistive layer. It responds to pressure from a finger or stylus rather than electrical conductivity.

CapacitiveA glass panel is coated with a transparent conductor. When touched, some of the charge is transferred to the user, which decreases the charge on the capacitive layer.
