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 the 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: An improved media player and a method for operating a portable computing device (e.g., media player) are disclosed. According to one aspect, a portable computing device is able to protect its disk drive when being subjected to undesired levels of acceleration. The portable computing device protects its disk drive by monitoring for such accelerations and operating to avoid usage of the disk drive during periods of acceleration. Through such protection, the likelihood of damage to the disk drive or loss of data stored on the disk drive is able to be substantially reduced. According to another aspect, a user of a portable computing device can be alerted when the portable computing device is being subjected to undesirable levels of acceleration.

Abstract: A touch screen includes a LCD display with integral touch sensing. The screen includes a first substrate with display control circuitry formed thereon. The display circuitry has a pair of electrodes (8400, 8402) for each sub-pixel of the display (as found in in-plane-switching LCDs). All touch sensing elements are disposed between the first and an adjacent second substrate. The display electrodes may be used to effect touch sensing. A method of operating a touch screen is also claimed in which display pixels form touch sensing rows and columns. The rows are grounded during a first time period whilst the display is updated and stimulated during a second time period. The columns are used to sense a touch during the second period. Also disclosed are other arrangements for integrating touch sensing into a LCD stack.
