In the case of our cell phones, this device would be the glass that covers the LCD. The glass piece that is attached to the LCD has wires at the top (or bottom) and on the side of the screen that transfers the touch information to electronic circuitry that acts as a digitizer.

It converts your actions (press, swipe, etc) into a digital signal that your phone understands. The data from the digitizer (glass) is transferred to the phone by the attached digitizer flex cable or digitizer flex ribbon.

How much does it cost to fix a tablet screen?

It depends on how broken it is. A phone screen is comprised of 3 layers. There's the glass layer which protects the digitizer and LCD display, the digitizer layer (which recognizes touch input), and then the LCD screen that sits underneath them all. If the glass is cracked but touch input still works and the LCD displays all the parts of the screen then replacement glass costs about $35. If touch input doesnt work then that means that the digitizer is damaged which is about $40 in parts. If the screen is so damaged that it does not display a complete picture then thats another $40 in parts (on top of the costs of the glass and digitizer) to get the LCD screen layer. Then you gotta pay the tech for his labor as well as the shipping costs for the new screen. Depending on the level of damage I would say that that $80 is the minimum you would pay and $200 would be the maximum if the screen has suffered extreme damage.

The touch screen feature requires either a screen or a plate(digitizer) you put in front of the screen. Then the touch inputs can be received by the computer via USB(Serial in the old days).Some of the systems can use a camera or IR led's(early HP touch smart PCs) to see your finger location as well.
