Infrared touch screens are based on light beam interruption technology.
Instead of an overlay on the surface, a frame surrounds the display. The
frame has light sources, or light emitting diodes (LEDs) on one side and
light detectors on the opposite side, creating an optical grid across the
screen. When an object touches the screen, the invisible light beam is
interrupted.
Since the infrared beams are a little in front of the display, touch is
activated even before the user actually touches the display, causing
parallax errors.
