    touch screen

    Hello

    I was wondering what does indium tin oxide coated glass do in touch screens. Does it convert heat into electricity. I was wondering how does a touch screen sense a finger? What is being converted into electricity and what is doing the conversion? I asked google but I can't get the specific details on what is being converted and what doing the conversion.

    Thank you

    Indium is used in many high-tech devices such as touch screens, smart phones, solar panels and smart windows, in the form of indium tin oxide. This compound is optically transparent and electrically conductive — the two crucial features required for touch screens to work.

    That doesn't answer my question. I found that answer on google. I want to know what is being converted into electricity and what is doing the conversion.
