A touchscreen is an input and display interface that allows users to interact directly with a device by touching the screen with a finger or stylus. It combines touch-sensitive sensors with a display panel, enabling functions like tapping, swiping, pinching, and scrolling. Touchscreens are widely used in smartphones, tablets, laptops, ATMs, kiosks, and other digital devices. They come in various technologies, such as resistive, capacitive, and infrared, each offering different levels of responsiveness and durability. Touchscreens simplify user interaction by eliminating the need for physical buttons, providing an intuitive and dynamic way to control digital content and applications.
