3.2. FACTORS DRIVING THE MARKET

3.2.1 GROWING SALES OF SMART DEVICES

This is an age of digital revolution. There has been a tremendous growth of smart devices such as

smartphones, tablets, ultrabooks and many more. This growth has been in all markets where the

demand for devices is increasing year by year. Markets like India, China and Brazil which are still

developing countries have huge demand for these devices. Smartphone is one of the biggest

contributors to the increase of smart devices. The demand for smartphones has increased

tremendously because of its multiple uses and also one crucial factor which is touch screen. The

users feel much more comfortable customizing their screen and use it when they can touch the

screen and control the functions. The biggest gainer in the increasing demand for smart devices is

touch screen controllers which are being used in all these devices.

3.2.3 PENETRATION OF TOUCH DEVICES ACROSS DIFFERENT INDUSTRY VERTICALS

The demand for touch screen has not only come from smart devices like smartphones but from

other verticals such as healthcare, manufacturing, communications, defense, automobiles and many

more sectors. These days high end cars come with touch screen central panel where many

functions of the car can be controlled by the screen. Touch screen gives the option to the

manufacturer of the cars and the users to eliminate many buttons from the panel. It also gives a

good aesthetic appeal to the car.

In other industries like healthcare precision and speed is very important. Touch screen is being used

in many devices for this reason. The peripherals used like mouse and keyboard can be eliminated

with just a screen. Also external components attached to the older devices like buttons, switches

and dials are also eliminated. The touch screen for medical devices are made in such a way that

medical practitioners can use them with even their gloves on and are also resistant to water

splashes on them.

Touch screen is also being used in modern fighter jets. The analogue dials and buttons are done

away with just a screen. It gives the pilot the option of seeing various parameters on just one screen.

3.3 FACTORS RESTRAINING THE MARKET

3.3.1 HIGH POWER CONSUMPTION

The main disadvantage in touch screen controllers is the immense power consumption. The

backlight of the screen consumes almost 75% of the energy. So, as the area of the screen increases

so does the power consumption. In many industries like healthcare and defence they cannot have

the device not working because of low battery because of continued use. The manufacturers

increased the battery size but that added to the bulkiness and the weight of the product. Many

companies are addressing the problems by using LCD or LED screens. These screens consume

much less power compared to the other screens.

TRENDS: 2014 – 2019

5.2 CAPACITIVE TOUCH CONTROLLERS

5.2.1 OVERVIEW

There are two touch screen displays available in the market. One is resistive touch screen and the

other is capacitive touch screen. Capacitive touch screens is the screen type that responds to the

electrical properties of the human body. The screen can respond even with the lightest of finger

touches and do not need heavy pressure on the screen. The main drawback of this is that it cannot

be used when the user is wearing gloves or with a stylus or any other object applying pressure on

the screen. These days special styluses are being made which have conductive ends.

The name of the technology comes from the electrical distortion that occurs in the capacitive field

of the screen because of the impression of the finger which has body capacitance and the body

being a good conductor of electric charges.

There are generally around 5 layers of surfaces involved. These are:

1. Glass

2. Conductive Coating

3. Electrode Pattern

4. Hard Coat with Anti-Glare

5. Scratch Resistant Top Coat

Generally these are the surfaces but can also depend on the vendor making the surface and the

application for which the screen is made.

There are a lot of benefits in using the capacitive screen. With the scratch resistant glass the device

has become very safe to be used roughly. It is ideal to be used even in rain, moisture, low or high

temperature. It is very reliable and can be used even if some part of the screen is cracked or broken.

It is being increasingly used in products like phones, tablets, laptops etc. So it is a technology that is

trending and there will be smooth transition and compatibility with future advancements. The

screen also supports multi touch.
