What sets a touchscreen apart from an LCD panel?

A touchscreen is an electronic input device that can be operated with a single touch or a series of touches. Instead of requiring a mouse, touchpad, or other intermediary device, the touchscreen enables the user to interact directly with what is being presented.


While some touchscreens can be operated with the fingertips, others may need special gloves or a stylus pen.


Today's majority of smartphones, tablets, and a sizable portion of laptops all use touchscreen technology as an industry standard. A touchscreen device will be present in the majority of homes, and our clients are no different.


These screens occasionally break due to their widespread appeal. The touchscreen and the real LCD panel are two separate components, which many people neglect to consider


The touch screen, also known as the digitizer, is a thin, transparent layer of plastic that receives touch signals and sends them to the processing unit. It is the component that is reachable without tearing the gadget apart.


The panel that shows the image on an LCD screen is located inside the apparatus. You cannot access the LCD without taking the item apart first.


You need to be able to see what is happening on the screen and use the touch screen normally even if the rest of the device is damaged.


When only the LCD is damaged, the touchscreen can still be used, but the panel will have black blobs or fissures that resemble spiderwebs (or both).


How to Clean Your LCD Screen and What to Avoid Usin


Although some higher-end (particularly business-line) laptops come with a dedicated cleaning cloth, any soft, dry, lint-free cloth will suffice; we discovered that the ones that come with the eyeglasses work beautifully.


Avoidance advice


Do not clean the screen with paper towels, tissue paper, toilet paper, or anything similar. It's quite likely that the display will get scratched by these non-ultrasoft materials. 


The cleaning answer:


Unless your machine's instructions clearly state otherwise, avoid using water to clean your Screen LCD or digitizer. Make use of a screen cleaning solution made for LCD panels to remove fingerprints and/or greasy smudges (a non-ammonia-based cleaner). Spray a small amount of the solution on a towel before gently wiping the screen to avoid damaging the LCD screen or the electronic parts behind the bezel. Do not spray the solution directly onto the LCD. It is not advisable to use common household cleaning products because they could harm the LCD surface (we have seen the effects of Windex applied directly onto the LCD, and it was not pretty).


Avoidance advice


Avoid using cleaning agents that contain ammonia (like Windex), ethyl alcohol (like Everclear®), alcohol intended for human consumption, toluene (paint solvents), acetone, or ethyl acetate when cleaning the LCD Display (these are often used in nail polish remover). Simply put, these substances may react with the components used to make or coat the screen.
