The principle of the pressure sensing touch technology is that a user applies touch pressure to deform a touch screen, and an electronic component on a pressure sensor converts the deformation into a digital quantity; and determining the next operation according to the digital quantity. The biggest characteristic of pressure sensing touch is that a conductive layer is not needed, so that the defects of a plurality of capacitance or resistance type touch screens, such as the problem of touch failure caused by wet hands of users, can be avoided. However, the pressure sensing touch principle is simple, and the touch threshold is low, so that false triggering is easily caused.
