touch screens
Finger-operated display panels
Touch screens are display surfaces that detect and respond to finger or stylus contact, allowing direct interaction with what's shown on screen.
They've become the dominant interface for smartphones and tablets, largely replacing physical keyboards and buttons.
The technology appears in ATMs, airport kiosks, and car dashboards.
Also spelled as one word: touchscreens.
