Touch screenmarket in the colorful scene of the situationfor a long time,different techniques of touch-screen adapted to the different application environment, the infrared touch technology is just one of them, have their own advantages and disadvantages.The personage inside course of study of the advantages of infrared touch technology is very loving, its disadvantages are also very clear, and has made unremitting efforts to improve.So far, the infrared touch technology has entered the fifth generation.From the point of its demonstrated some of the features of, apart from a variety of touch technology, likely become a touch screen market. 
Infrared touch screen appears early in 1992, the resolution is only 32 x 32.The first generation of infrared touch technology and low resolution, vulnerable to environmental disturbance misoperation, shading and requirements in certain environments.Due to these limitations, the infrared touch screen once out of the market. 
Launched in 1994, the second generation of infrared touch screen resolution of 64 x 64, improved the light interference resistance, can adapt to most of the indoor environment.
The third generation of infrared touch screen was introduced in 1997, the resolution of 320 x 240, can not direct sunlight outdoors environment.
The fourth generation of infrared touch screen is to improve the resolution, the main contribution of the 800 x 600, launched in 1998.From the perspective of the development of infrared touch screen, the main progress is along the enhance resolution and the two aspects of strong interference environment adaptability, but basically do not have to overcome the short product life, device parameters easily drift problem. 
The recent launch of the fifth generation of infrared touch technology, not only will be increased to 1000 x 720 resolution, strong interference resistance can also be used to direct sunlight environment, what is more important in the product life and free maintenance performance with the nature of the leap.The fifth generation of infrared touch the device redundancy distribution probability function of guiding ideology, work environment more than 7 years of life.That is to say, when the display of form a complete set to end life, touch screen itself is still working.The fifth generation of infrared touch screen improvement on performance index, is enough to the application of touch screen to a new level.Originally some places cannot use, can use now.For example, the touch screen when tracking finger movement will appear a lot of broken pen, cannot be used for Chinese character recognition.The fifth generation of touch screen when finger movement trajectory tracking, accuracy, smoothness and tracking speed can meet the requirements.User writing can be smoothly into image, fully supports handwriting recognition input. 
In order to adapt to the requirements of the Windows 7 system, sixth generation touch screen has multi-touch support. 
In fact, already can use the fifth generation of touch screen such as a single equipment complete platform for the man-machine interface, instead of the mouse, writing board, even the keyboard.From the application level, should not touch screen as a simple device converts touch position coordinates information, and should serve as a complete man-machine interface system design.Fifth generation of infrared touch screen is on the basis of such standards, through the built-in processor and perfect the driver software to realize the concept of product promotion.
Therefore, a new infrared touch technology will be very significant effects on the domestic and foreign markets.
First, the fifth generation of infrared touch screen is likely to stand out, break the acoustic screen, screen resistance, capacitance screen, infrared screen of the pattern of the world.The most likely scenario is that infrared screen occupied more than 80% of the mainstream market, screen and resistance capacitance screen lock in the field of application of four inches or less and acoustic screen will be phased out.Second, the fifth generation of infrared touch screen is expected to break the foreign manufacturers occupy the domestic market situation for a long time, in order to better quality and lower price will touch screen products in the United States and Japan from the Chinese market.But, our country Taiwan province some vendors will be in five line resistance touch screen mobile products occupies an important position in the market.Third, by making full use of the product advantages, intensify international market operation, the fifth generation of infrared touch screen can compete with foreign products in the international market.But it should be noted that the fifth generation of infrared touch screen products have advantages to keep time is limited, for the development of foreign manufacturers strength has always been that nots allow to ignore, a single product technical advantage may soon does not exist.Fourth, because of the increase in function and performance of the fifth generation of infrared touch screen will open up new application areas, such as infrared touchscreen may has appeared in industrial and household appliances and other industries, and with the mouse, tablets and other input devices to form the alternative and competition, the relationship between market impact of related products.
