The cost of the capacitive touch screen is decreasing continually, because the manufacturers are trying to use the integrated circuit control and the single design in it. Apart from the ones which had been used in the Smart Phone, it also can be applied for the feature phones and the low cost phones. Some data indicates that one third of the Smart Phones will use the touch screen, and one fifth of the feature phones will use it in the end of 2010.

Experts maintain that this technology is becoming the standard equipment of cell phone nowadays. Both resistance type and capacitive type can be applied. Although the resistance type is applied by the Smart Phone earlier, customers like to prefer the capacitive type more, because the integrated circuit control and the single design make the price low. Designers of feature phone are trying to change from resistance type to the capacitive type, offering better experience for customers. It is predicated that the shipment of capacitive type will be more than the resistance type.

The touch screen cell phone is a good choice for viewing web pages and writing the E-mail with the virtual keyboard interface. Therefore, many kinds of capacitive touch screen cell phones were released in the last year. The quantity of this phone will increase in the following months.

Although the price of capacitive touch screen cell phone is very high, the low cost hones may become the obstacle of its development. Experts say that the capacitive touch screen technology used in the low cost device will have the noise. What is important, the cost will not become the obstacle with the integration between noise suppression technologies and the low cost touch screen. Customers’ increasing demand for the capacitive interface will drive the development of this industry; even the entry level Smart Phone will use this technology. The related integrated circuit is VF594.
