I always assumed water made touchscreens wonky because of how electricity works (Yet another reason for being a heavy sweater while at the gym was annoying...), but I never knew the precise mechanics. So very very cool.
Wow, I didn't know there were two kinds of touchscreens! Whenever a self-checkout machine, a ticket machine or something wasn't responding I always assumed it was a computing latency issue of devices being old. But it makes sense now that with devices based on the resistive version, I wasn't just imagining that it worked better if I pressed a little harder, it needs to be pressed! Thank you so much for this explaination!
I remember before I got my first smartphone, in late 2000s, sometimes I have to press my phone's screen with my nails if the area that I wanted to touch is small.
I live in Japan and for 12 years I worked as a quality inspector for Nitto. A manufacturing company that literally makes touch screens for Apple, Samsung , Nintendo and other devices. It’s really fascinating tech and the research that goes into improving it seem to never end.
@@Luigi2262_ ted ed actually did a terrific job covering this topic. I just like to add that As an inspector we search for dirt, scratches and other defects between the layers of the touch screen and all with just our own eyes, a flash light and a flourescent light. Even with the crazy machines they made to manufacture touch screens, they still can’t duplicate the ability of the human eyes. I know because they tried a lot of times and spent millions of yen making them but were never successful 😁
Super-informative and entertaining. From the unexpected South Korean sausage anecdote to engaging imagery of subatomic particles relating to one another, I was learning and loving it. Thank you, TedED!
what amazes me is the terrifying speed this process is done. your phone has to do the math on the voltages of every single node every moment, and then react to it in milliseconds when there is an anomaly. in a time period we humans would call "instantly"
the coding and design does make it a little simpler. think instead of one processor monitoring hundreds of nodes, think of each node as doing one job, with one set parameter. if one node gets a voltage above or below that parameter (depending on if your finger decreases or increases voltage, it didnt say in the vid) then that voltage change is applied to the grid. the processor doesnt have to do the math for voltage on each node, just mainly the math to pinpoint where the electrical impulses are coming from on the grid
TED-Ed is easily one of the best RUclips Channels. Both in terms of creativity and content. As a curious person and creative myself, I am glad that a channel like this exists!
I've really wondered that too, especially since I tried to make a stylus at home and found it wouldn't function without a conducting material. Brilliant video, and thank you so much for such interesting content!
I don't like the animation of electrons as running people. It's bs and useless. I'd rather see some more schematics. For example include the width and distance of the layers. Or where are the horizontal and vertical linea connected to
There are also special gloves with special material on the fingertips to allow using touchscreens. Perhaps a sequel video explaining that function is called for.
It's crazy how touchscreens are such an integral part of our life and yet I never actually knew how they worked. Idk if its just me but the fact that they use our body's conductivity is surprising but also makes perfect sense
Gloves that say they can work with capacitive touch screens just have metallic threads weaved into the finger allowing electric charge to flow between you and the screen. Capacitive stylus work on the same principle with a metallic body connecting you to the stylus tip.
omg i've always been questioning about all these technology things. i don't take it for granted. it feels very mind-blowing every time i think about it. like, HOW ??
Nice I rly love the animations in this video. And great work getting so much information over in such short time, I was wondering for a while how touchscreens actually work since we didnt learn it explicitly in physic. just noice
Such type of videos really makes me think about how far we humans have come, it really boggles my mind when I really think about technology. From computers to laptops to smartphones to cars to aeroplanes to spaceships! It does make me, sometimes, think that technology has come to an apogee, where it just can’t get any better. However all these tech companies are still coming with crazy new inventions every year!
I’ve always wanted to know how this worked cause if you really sit and think about it, it’s amazingly kool that people were able to create something like this
This is amazing content! I've never searched how the touchscreens work. but when I watched this video, I just blamed myself and asked myself why didn't I. There is a lot of technologies we use everyday and we are not curious about how they work. Thank you TedEd.
Fun fact: The first phone with a capacitive touch screen to hit the market was the LG Prada in May 2007. The iPhone would go on sale roughly a month later in June. Not exactly as memorable of a phone though, to be fair 😄
At a cross country meet years ago I made the discovery that bananas can be used on touch screens. Didn’t expect it to be mentioned in this video though!
I'd say the distinction between resistive and capacitive touchscreens is what brought Nokia down and what launched iPhone to the top. Nokia (and other manufacturers, for that matter) had touchscreen phones before Apple, but the clumsier resistive-screen kind. The responsiveness of the capacitive screen also encouraged Apple to ditch the manual keyboard and enlarge the screen.
Not only the technology has come so far, I love how awesome Ted Ed videos have become. Absolutely digging this one. And I always wondered about the touchscreen so thanks for such a cool vid.👍🏻
I have always wondered how cell phones work, and this is one step closer to understanding it. I am also curious about how the colors on the screen and images work. How do they change color? How do they know when to change images? If you could make a video about how it works, that would be awesome! (By the way I love your videos! They are so easy to understand! Keep up the amazing work!)
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite. It uses, of course, capacitive touch, but it also has under that some sort of technology from Wacom that allows it to also respond to a stylus. It's like a souped up touch screen.
It’s funny how the T-Mobile/HTC G1, despite being a much better phone and the fact that Android phones outnumber iPhones 2:1, is largely forgotten because it came out very slightly after the iPhone. I believe a lot of cat infotainment systems (up until recently) used resistive screens specifically because of gloves.
I owned the G1 and it was NOT a better phone. It was slow, laggy, and android still needed a lot of work. It’s not forgotten, it was wasn’t the breakthrough that Apple had achieved. It would still take some time for google to fully copy apples vision.
Thank you TedEd for making learning fun and accessible! I probably would never have delved into functioning of touch screens otherwise. Love how this channel helps keep geeking about random topic relevant!!! Also, as it is with every video, love love love the animation, especially the atom and electron characters bit! You people are brilliant 😍🤯🤯
Some capacitive touch screens are so sensitive that you don't even have to actually touch the screen but just get REALLY close to it. And resistive touch screens are definitely very durable. The control screen on the CNC machine at work is used constantly all day long and has never been replaced even though it's been in use for about 20 years. It's scratched and blurry, yes, but works just fine!
I'm still amazed at how Apple pushed forward with such a seamless touchscreen when I remember as touch screens beforehand often needed you to push really hard in because of a thick protective plastic layer.

You are correct with your last guess :) The applied screen protector can be seen as a thicker phone glass - on top of the 'grid'. If you change the responsiveness of your touchscreen you it could be that the distance is too high for light touches and it stops working
now i wont forget the fact that every time im holding and using a modern touch-screen device im also being electrocuted, just enough to use the device but not enough for it to be even noticeable. thanks ted ed
I thought this video was going to be about SawStop. It's the same principle though: sausages and fingers produce current so they stop the saw, whereas plastic won't.
I often wonder what it would be like if we were sent back in time with some advanced technology, like a smartphone, and people in the past would ask us how it works, only for us to tell them we have no clue, and then they judge us super hard 😂 It's good to learn about the things we use so often!

You will always get it to work if you press with your fingernail or a stylus. Think of it as a Nintendo DS touchscreen. Actually, it's the same.
