Capacitive touch screens are laid out in a checkerboard pattern to sense touch. It is normally laid out in two layers but can be made with only one, of ITO. When made with only one layer it will provide a clearer screen.

With capacitive touch-screen control a layer of safety glass can be used to cover the top of the structure to seal it. This provides a much more durable design than that provided by the flexible sheet of polyurethane for resistive screens. The glass itself is chemically strengthened to
become very resistant to scratches and damage. Instead of the touchscreen being a weakness of the device it has become a strength.

Reliability of capacitive touchscreens is higher. If a field worker has a broken or shattered touchscreen it can still be used until the screen can be replaced in most cases. With a resistive touch screen a field worker would most likely have to stop collecting data.
