Almost all gadgets nowadays have touch screen displays. It is
the most common interface among smart phones, MP3 players, tablets, and
computer monitors. They even come in very resistant materials such as Gorilla
Glass, which is well-known for being thin, light, hard, and damage-resistant.
Touchscreen displays are very sensitive to dust particles, oil,
and grease. The latest touchscreens are hard to scratch, let alone break, but
they are most definitely not indestructible.
Here are a few tips on how to protect your touchscreen:
Here are a few tips on how to protect your touchscreen:
1. Only use your fingers,
or if you have one, a stylus to tap on the touchscreen. Never use sharp objects
to tap on the display.
2. Make sure you cover
your touchscreen with a screen protector. Not only are they very affordable,
but they will also protect your screen from dirt and external damages like
pressure and scratches. Most of all, they will increase your device's lifetime.
3. Do not apply excessive
pressure on the touchscreen. Doing so can permanently damage the display.
4. Avoid using your
device in dusty environment as much as possible and always use clean, dry
fingers.
5. Avoid leaving your
device on direct sunlight, because excessive heat can damage the display panel.
6. Use a microfiber cloth
to clean the touchscreen. If microfiber cloth is not available, any
non-abrasive cloth will do. Never use harsh chemicals, such as alcohol-based
cleaners or anything with ammonia. If liquid is necessary, slightly damp the
cloth with water.
7. Turn off the device
before cleaning it. If your device has a cleaning mode, set it to that mode
first before cleaning it.
8. Avoid placing your
device in your front or back pocket. The touchscreen is very sensitive, and
doing so will damage the display. If possible, get a case or pouch for your device
to avoid bumps, scratches, and finger prints.
9. Make sure there are no
objects pressing on the touchscreen area continuously.
10. Keep your device away
from objects that contain magnetic field such as radios, televisions, etc.
