Abstract: A touch screen including display pixels with capacitive elements is provided. The touch screen includes first common voltage lines connecting capacitive elements in adjacent display pixels, and a second common voltage line connecting first common voltage lines. The pixels can be formed as electrically separated regions by including breaks in the common voltage lines. The regions can include a drive region that is stimulated by stimulation signals, a sense region that receives sense signals corresponding to the stimulation signals. A grounded region can also be included, for example, between a sense region and a drive region. A shield layer can be formed of a substantially high resistance material and disposed to shield a sense region. A black mask line and conductive line under the black mask line can be included, for example, to provide low-resistance paths between a region of pixels and touch circuitry outside the touch screen borders.

Abstract: A touch sensor panel having co-planar single-layer touch sensors fabricated on a single side of a substrate is disclosed. The drive and sense lines can be fabricated as column-like patterns in a first orientation and patches in a second orientation, where each column-like pattern in the first orientation is connected to a separate metal trace in the border area of the touch sensor panel, and all patches in each of multiple rows in the second orientation are connected together using a separate metal trace in the border area of the touch sensor panel. The metal traces in the border areas can be formed on the same side of the substrate as the patches and columns, but separated from the patches and column-like patterns by a dielectric layer.

Abstract: A display system (800) provides a first semiconductor light source (530) that is electrically connected in a first plane (529). A second semiconductor light source (534) is electrically connected in a second plane (533) separate from the first plane (529). A third semiconductor light source (532) is electrically connected in the first plane (529) at least a distance (312) away from the first semiconductor light source (530) equal to the width of the second semiconductor light source (534). The first plane (529) and the second plane (533) are merged into a combined plane (535) by positioning the electrically connected second semiconductor light source (534) between the electrically connected first semiconductor light source (530) and the electrically connected third semiconductor light source (532).

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: Un método y aparato de cortraluz de LEDs para sistemas de pantalla proporciona una pluralidad de diodos emisores de luz que tienen diferentes colores de punto blanco. Por lo menos dos de los diodos emisores de luz que tienen diferentes colores de punto blanco se seleccionan para producir una luz de un color de punto blanco predeterminado cuando las salidas de luz de los diodos emisores de luz seleccionados se mezclan. Los diodos emisores de luz seleccionados se montan en un panel de pantalla en un orden predeterminado en posiciones distribuidas espacialmente para mezclar sus salidas de luz, para producir la luz del color de punto blanco predeterminado, con el fin de iluminar el panel de pantalla con luz del color de punto blanco predeterminado.

Abstract: A method of laminating a surface of a flexible material to a surface of a rigid, curved material. The method includes pressing an area of the surface of the flexible material into the surface of the rigid, curved material with a holder to create a contact area while the flexible material is conformed to the holder, which has a curvature greater than a curvature of the rigid, curved material surface; and changing the contact area between the surface of the flexible material and the surface of the rigid, curved material while maintaining pressure on the contact area until the surface of the flexible material and the surface of the rigid curved material are laminated.
