A thin film display element (100) has at least one emissive area (103) in the display region (101) and a layer structure (104) comprising: a first patterned conductor layer (110) comprising a first display electrode (111) in the display region; a second patterned conductor layer (120) comprising a second display electrode (121) in the display region; and an emissive layer (130) between the first and the second conductor layers configured to emit light in the at least one emissive area. The patterned conductor layers further comprise a first touch electrode (141) and a second touch electrode (142) in the display region, the first and the second touch electrodes forming a touch sensor (140) for capacitive touch or proximity sensing.
