Abstract: Disclosed herein are liquid-crystal display (LCD) touch screens that integrate the touch sensing elements with the display circuitry. The integration may take a variety of forms. Touch sensing elements can be completely implemented within the LCD stackup but outside (not between) the color filter plate and the array plate. Alternatively, some touch sensing elements can be between the color filter and array plates with other touch sensing elements not between the plates. In another alternative, all touch sensing elements can be between the color filter and array plates. The latter alternative can include both conventional and in-plane- switching (IPS) LCDs. In some forms, one or more display structures can also have a touch sensing function. Techniques for manufacturing and operating such displays, as well as various devices embodying such displays are also disclosed.

Abstract: Substantially transparent conductor layers in touch sensing systems may be formed by forming a barrier layer between an organic layer and a substantially transparent conductive layer. For example, a barrier layer can be formed over the organic layer, and the transparent conductor layer can be formed over the barrier layer. The barrier layer can reduce or prevent outgassing of the organic layer, to help increase the quality of the transparent conductor layer. In another example, a combination layer of two different types of a transparent conductor may be formed over the organic layer by forming a barrier layer of the transparent conductor, and forming a second layer of the transparent conductor on the barrier layer. Outgassing that can occur when forming the barrier layer can cause the transparent conductor of the barrier layer to be of lower-quality, but can result in a higher-quality transparent conductor of the second layer.

Abstract translation: 可以通过在有机层和基本上透明的导电层之间形成阻挡层来形成触摸感测系统中的基本透明的导体层。 例如，可以在有机层上形成阻挡层，并且可以在阻挡层上形成透明导体层。 阻挡层可以减少或防止有机层的除气，有助于提高透明导体层的质量。 在另一示例中，可以通过形成透明导体的阻挡层，并在阻挡层上形成透明导体的第二层，在有机层上形成两种不同类型的透明导体的组合层。 在形成阻挡层时可能发生的除气可能导致阻挡层的透明导体质量较差，但是可以产生更高质量的第二层透明导体。

Abstract: Abstract of the Disclosure An electronic device may include a display having an array of display pixels and having display control circuitry that controls the operation of the display. The display control circuitry may operate the display in 5 different modes. In a paper mode, display control circuitry may use stored spectral reflectance data to adjust display colors such that the colors appear as they would on a printed sheet of paper. In a low light mode when the ambient light level is below a threshold, the light emitted 10 from the display may be adjusted to mimic the appearance of an incandescent light source. In a bright light mode when the ambient light level exceeds a threshold, the light emitted from the display may be adjusted to maximize readability in bright light. The target white point of the 15 display may be adjusted based on which mode the display is operating in.

Abstract: Eine elektronische Vorrichtung 10 kann mit einer organischen Leuchtdiodenanzeige 14 mit minimierten Rahmenregionen IA bereitgestellt werden. Die Rahmenregionen IA können minimiert werden, indem die Anzeige mit gebogenen Kantenteilen 56 bereitgestellt wird, die neutrale Ebenen-Anpassungsmerkmale 58 aufweisen, die ein Biegen der gebogenen Kantenteile vereinfachen, während gleichzeitig eine Beschädigung der gebogenen Kantenteile minimiert wird. Die neutralen Ebenen-Anpassungsmerkmale können eine modifizierte Rückfilmschicht 52 der Anzeige beinhalten, bei welcher Teile der Rückfilmschicht in einer Biegeregion entfernt werden. Eine Anzeigevorrichtung kann ein Substrat, ein Anzeigefeld auf dem Substrat aufweisend Anzeigepixel und periphere Schaltungen, benachbart zum Anzeigefeld und eingerichtet zum Betreiben der Anzeigepixel, aufweisen. Ein Teil der Peripherie des Substrats kann im Wesentlichen orthogonal zum Anzeigefeld gebogen werden, um einen ersichtlichen Oberflächenbereich der Anzeigevorrichtung zu verringern. Der gebogene Teil kann eine Elektrode zur Kommunikation mit den peripheren Schaltungen beinhalten.

Abstract: Methods and devices employing in-cell and/or on-cell touch sensor components, including in-cell and/or on-cell black matrix material (80) that also may serve as a touch drive or sense electrode, are provided. In one example, an electronic display (18) may include a lower substrate (64), an upper substrate (70), and a black matrix material (80) that shields light between pixels of the electronic display (18). At least a portion of the black matrix material (80) may form all or part of a component of a touch sensor of the electronic display (18).
