Difference between the lcd and digitizer????

I have sadly broke my screen but it looks fine, it's just the touch not working. Im new at this and I have no clue what the difference is between the lcd and the digitizer. I need to know what to replace on this. please help.

screen and digitizer
the screen is the actual lcd display while the digitizer "touch" part of tthe screen. now i havent replaced the screen on my wing yet but most units the screen and digitzar are one complete unit sometimes the digitizer can be seperated with a razor blade (not recomended) personaly i would replace the entire unit (lcd and digitizer)

Advice after touch screen no more work

Hi,
The touch screen of my HTC elf doesn't work anymore.
I am going to order some parts to change the digitizer myself and also the casing to make it look a little newer.
Anyway, I'd like to understand how the touch functionality works exactly. Is it a pressure on the digitizer itself that make a "touch" or is it a pressure on the digitizer that press the screen and this action make a "touch" ?
When I power my disassemble Elf, a pressure on the screen itself doesn't do anything....
I'd like to know if I need to order a screen as well

Hi,
just replaced my own elf's digitizer a month ago... and the phone is like new.
To answer your question it's the digitizer that reads pressure and sends the data to the system (if you already disassembled it you should have noticed a flat cable that connects the digitizer to the board).
So if the screen on your elf is working you should solve the problem by replacing only the digitizer.

You rock, I order now

[Q] I think I broke my Digitizer

Hi
Yesterday I Replaced my Speaker, when I opend my HD2 I accedently lifted up the Glas from the LCD. I think the Glas is the Digitizer too. So now when I use the Touchscreen it clicks Randomly or slides randomly. What could cause the Problem and can I repair it?
thx for your help

if im not mistaken the digitizer is attached to the lcd glass facing down. might need to replace

you can replace the digitizer without the lcd panel, but it isn't easy to replace it because you need to seperate the digitizer from the lcd and the lcd can breake. it is easier to replace the digitizer with the lcd panel in one peace.
unfortunately it is more expensive than only the digitizer.
if you replace the digitizer you have to stick it to the lcd panel and it must be in the right position(as before)

After a few tests I found out that not the Digitizer is broken. Its a little tape like thing on the side of the screen(digitizer). Is this possible?

[Q] LCD and digitizer

I still have my broken lcd and digitizer, it worked fine while i didnt replace it, the touch screen works, and no problems with the lcd, it is only cracked. The question is, can I do something useful with it?
