As a resistive film type or pressure-sensitive touch panel, the upper and lower plates coated with a transparent electrode (ITO Metal Layer) layer, which is a conductive material, are bonded so that the electrode layers face each other between the dot spacers. So, when the transparent electrode layer of the upper substrate and the lower substrate come in contact by pressure, it operates by sensing the pressure between the electrodes.

It is a capacitive or electrostatic capacitive touch panel that uses the method of recognizing the presence or absence of a touch by the change in capacitance, which is the capacity to store electric charges in the electric field between two conductors or electrodes.
