SCIENCE FACT

We find touch screens in all types of gadgets like smartwatches, smartphones, computers, laptops, tablets, ATMs, etc. They are very easy to use and interactive. But have you wondered how the touch screen works? A touch screen is an electronic visual display that can be controlled by the user’s fingertip.

E.A. Johnson, in 1960 was the first person who has put his thoughts about touch screens out to the world. After that, a lot of s went through. In 1970, Frank Beck Bent Stumpe launched touch screen technology.

A touch screen can be of different types like infrared, resistance, capacitive, and Surface wave.

The Resistive screen has two layers – 1) Resistive layer 2) Conductive layer. There are dots present in between the layers. The upper layer of the resistive screen is very flexible which is made of polythene. The lower layer is very hard which is made up of glass.

CAUSES AND PRE-CAUTIONS FOR UNRESPONSIVE SCREEN

• Always clean your phone in a day or two.
• Make sure your display screen is not covered with oil/sweat particles.
• Check if your device is screen shared with another device.
• When not necessary, turn off the power-saving mode.
• Change the screen guard and replace it with a new phone. (As it is covering the phone since you bought it.) I have seen many people who don’t change the screen guard of their phone since they bought it.
• Make sure that the screen sensors of your device work properly.
• There’s a chance that your device got attacked by a virus.
• It’s also possible that your phone’s memory is full. Try deleting the unwanted files or clearing the app data from the settings.
• Many people use their smartphones after just washing their hands or in oily hands as sometimes the phone doesn’t detect touches in oily/wet hands.
• A major reason for this is that your phone suddenly slipped out of your hand and fell from a height. Usually, your phone’s screen gets broken, and it stops detecting touches. So be careful while using your phone. Remember, it costs you tons of pleasing to your dad as it cost me too. 

FUN FACT

Run to your bathroom. No, I am not going to prank you, come on. I just need something that you will find there. Guess what – toothpaste. You might think that I want you to clean your teeth and get rid of the black chocolate still sticking around. But wait, that’s not the case. I came to know that your phone has minor cracks; neighbors are the source, of course, yours. Apply the toothpaste on your phone’s screen, and don’t be silly finding out which brand works best. Wait for some time. Get a business card, use mine; you don’t have one, just kidding, I don’t have either. Now with the card, get rid of the toothpaste. WOW! I heard you shout.
