A couple methods that may work: 1) a transducer at the top-left of the screen sends a pulse towards the right-top screen. Acoustic prisms across the top of the screen cause the pulse to reflect down. An acoustic-pulse scanned raster is created. Where your finger is, an echo is created and timed. I read about a monitor that used this a while back. 2) Vibrate the the screen, and look for damping at the four transducers. The gradient locates the source of damping (a finger). 3) Pulse the transducers & look for reduced amplitude pulses, or reflections. Should make for hours of fun. Off hand, since cheap piezo's arn't much good above a hundred KHz (there first mode is around 2 KHz) I would try the gradient-damping technique first. A short enough pulse in glass would probably be several MHz & need more expensive circuitry. I wonder how many & types of patents a search would turn up? >I was thinking in use the same piezo sound element to design a touch >screen, I put 4 piezo, one in each corner, and read it, based in their >relative voltage, I can determine the point. >I don't really need high precision. > >Does anyone think this work?
