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). 18go UPPER POLARIZING LAYER + HIGH RESISTANCE OR ANTI-STATIC FILM BLACK MATRIX/ 8 TOUCH SENSE ELECTRODE 0 DIELECTRIC LAYER 88 TOUCH DRIVE ELECTRODE TU F B TOUCH FLEXIBLE PRINTED CIRCUIT TOP GLASS 70 SHIELDING LAYER LIQUID CRYSTAL LAYER 68 TFT LAYER ,-76 COLOR FILTER 82 DISPLAY FLEXIBLE PRINTED CIRCUIT LOWER POLARIZING LAYER 62 BACKLIGHT ASSEMBLY 60

Abstract: Displays with touch sensing circuitry integrated into the display pixel stackup are provided Circuit elements, such as touch signal lines, drive lines, sense lines, grounding regions, in the display pixel stackups can be grouped together to form touch sensing circuitly that senses touch on or near the display An integrated touch screen can include multi-function circuit elements that can operate as circuitry of the display system to generate an image on the display, and can also form part of a touch sensing system that senses touch on or near the display The multi-function circuit elements can be capacitors in display pixels that can be configured to operate as storage capacitors/electrodes, common electrodes, conductive wires/pathways, etc of the display circuitry in the display system, and that may also be configured to operate as circuit elements of the touch sensing circuitry

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: Hier werden Flüssigkristallanzeige- (LCD) Berührungsbildschirme offenbart, bei denen die Berührungssensorelemente mit den Anzeigeschaltungen integriert sind. Die Integration kann eine Vielfalt von Formen annehmen. Die Berührungssensorelemente können vollständig innerhalb des LCD-Stapelaufbaus aber nicht zwischen der Farbfilterplatte und der Feldplatte implementiert sein. Alternativ können einige Berührungssensorelemente zwischen den Farbfilter- und Feldplatten angeordnet sein, wobei andere Berührungssensorelemente nicht zwischen den Platten liegen. In einer anderen Alternative können alle Berührungssensorelemente zwischen den Farbfilter- und Feldplatten liegen. Die letzte Alternative kann sowohl konventionelle als auch in einer Ebene schaltende (IPS) LCDs umfassen. In einigen Formen können Anzeigestrukturen auch eine Berührungsmessfunktion aufweisen. Techniken zur Herstellung und zum Betrieb solcher Anzeigen sowie verschiedene solche Anzeigen aufweisende Vorrichtungen sind ebenfalls offenbart.

Abstract: A substantially transparent mutual-capacitance touch sensor panel is disclosed having sensors fabricated on a single side of a substrate for detecting multi-touch events. Substantially transparent row and column traces can be formed on the same side of the substrate, separated by a thin dielectric material, using diamond, rectangular, or hexagonal rows and columns. Dummy shapes of the same material as the row and column traces can be formed alongside the rows and columns to provide optical uniformity. The metal traces in the border areas used to route the rows to the short edge of the substrate can also be formed on the same side of the substrate as the rows and columns. The metal traces can allow both the rows and columns to be routed to the same short edge of the substrate so that a small flex circuit can be bonded to only one side of the substrate.
