Here's about as technical as I could find:
Touchscreens, touch screens, touch panels or touchscreen panels are display overlays which are typically either pressure-sensitive (resistive), electrically-sensitive (capacitive), acoustically-sensitive (SAW - surface acoustic wave) or photo-sensitive (infra-red). The effect of such overlays allows a display to be used as an input device, removing the keyboard and/or the mouse as the primary input device for interacting with the display's content. Such displays can be attached to computers or, as terminals, to networks.

A monitor (LCD or CRT) with a medium to sence touch and pass that data along to the mouse. There are different ways of doing this with LCD and CRT monitors, but they are all touchscreen. Using this definition, PDA's and similar devices have touchscreens.

A CRT screen with which an operator can interact by touching icons displayed on the screen, rather than through a keyboard or mouse.
