Smartphones and tablets have become indispensable in our daily lives, touch screens As a result, it offers us practical use. However, we cannot use these screens during the winter months or when we use gloves for certain special tasks.

We wanted to at least find out the reason and have some peace of mind. Let’s see what lies beyond technical reasons what was it?

Most touchscreens work with capacitive technology.

capacitive technology, It detects the small electrical changes caused by your finger when you touch the surface of the screen. Capacitive touch screens work by utilizing the natural conductivity of the human body.

Our fingers are light of electric charge and the screen detects this load and detects the touch.

Gloves are generally made of materials that are not electrically conductive.

Materials such as wool, leather and nylon are harmful to our fingers. natural electrical charge It does not transmit to the touch screen. Therefore, when you touch it with gloves, the screen cannot detect electrical changes and recognize your touch.

Gloves protect our fingers from screens. It breaks communication.

Some gloves have conductive wires on the ends.

If you’ve ever seen someone using their phone with gloves, you should know that gloves aren’t normal. Wires coming out of our fingertips It can transfer electric charge to the screen and thus ensures that the touch screen works.

These gloves are specifically designed for capacitive touchscreens and usually are “touchscreen compatible gloves” It is offered for sale.

In addition, several devices have been developed in recent years glove use modes wants to overcome this problem by offering

Another touchscreen technology is resistive screens.

Resistive screensIt works when physical pressure is applied between two thin conductive layers. When you press with gloves on, the gap between the two layers is closed and the screen detects this pressure and recognizes the touch.

Resistive screens less sensitive and less useful than capacitive screens. Therefore, it is less commonly used in modern devices.

Therefore, if you want to avoid getting your hands cold and use your phone, gloves made of conductive thread or you can buy devices that offer glove mode.
