touchscreen display

Finger-operated visual interface

A touchscreen display is a screen that responds to touch, allowing users to interact directly with what's shown rather than through a separate input device like a mouse or keyboard.

Smartphones, tablets, ATMs, and airport kiosks use touchscreen displays.

The technology detects finger contact or stylus pressure to register commands: Tap the touchscreen display to continue.
