ELI5- How does your phone know when you touch the screen?
In: Technology
What you see as the surface of your phone screen is not just a simple piece of plastic or glass. It is actually a transparent sensor that can detect when something touches the surface and can tell which point on the surface of the sensor is touched.
This sensor sends the touch information to the processor in the phone and the software running decides what to do with the information.
