Sometimes called a Resistive Touch Screen, as opposed to Capacitive, Acoustic Wave, Infra red, or Force Sensing. The membrane, or flexing layer, is thin, transparent polyester, and conductively coated.

When pressed the transparent conductive coating makes ohmic (or resistive) contact with another transparent conductor, the static layer.

The Static layer can be made of the same material as the membrane layer or a clear rigid material that is also conductively coated.

A very versatile option for applications where key function or key locations change often.
