If you want your new device to have a simple and intuitive interface, then a graphic LCD with touch screen is the best choice. With a small number of electronic components you will be able to create an attractive and easy to use device. The touch screen is a thin, self-adhesive transparent panel placed over the screen of graphic LCD. It is very sensitive to pressure and even a soft touch causes some changes on the output signal.
