    Abstract: Common electrodes (Vcom) of integrated touch screens can be segmented into electrically isolated Vcom portions that can be operated as drive lines and/or sense lines of a touch sensing system. The touch screen can include high-resistivity connections between Vcom portions. The resistivity of the high-resistivity connections can be high enough so that touch sensing and image display can be performed by the touch screen, and the high-resistivity connections can provide an added functionality by allowing a charge build up on one of the Vcom portions to be spread to other Vcom portions and/or discharged from system by allowing charge to leak through the high-resistivity connections. In this way, for example, visual artifacts that result from charge build up on a Vcom portion can be reduced or eliminated.

    Abstract: An organic light-emitting diode display may have an array of pixels. The pixels may each have an organic light-emitting diode with a respective anode and may be formed from thin- film transistor circuitry formed on a substrate. A mesh-shaped path may be used to distribute a power supply voltage to the thin-film circuitry. The mesh-shaped path may have intersecting horizontally extending lines and vertically extending lines. The horizontally extending lines may be zigzag metal lines that do not overlap the anodes. The vertically extending lines may be straight vertical metal lines that overlap the anodes. The pixels may include pixels of different colors. Angularly dependent shifts in display color may be minimized by ensuring that the anodes of the differently colored pixels overlap the vertically extending lines by similar amounts.

    Abstract: Methods and devices for shielding displays (18) from electrostatic discharge (ESD) are provided. In one example, a display (18) of an electronic device (10) may include a high resistivity shielding layer (78) configured to protect electrical components from static charges. The display (18) may also include a conductive layer electrically coupled to the high resistivity shielding layer (78) and configured to decrease a discharge time of static charges from the high resistivity shielding layer (78). The display (18) may include a grounding layer (72) and a conductor electrically coupled between the conductive layer and the grounding layer (72) to direct static charges from the conductive layer to the grounding layer (72).

    Abstract: An organic light-emitting diode display may have thin- film transistor circuitry formed on a substrate. The display and substrate may have rounded corners. A pixel definition layer may be formed on the thin- film transistor circuitry. Openings in the pixel definition layer may be provided with emissive material overlapping respective anodes for organic light- emitting diodes. A cathode layer may cover the array of pixels. A ground power supply path may be used to distribute a ground voltage to the cathode layer. The ground power supply path may be formed from a metal layer that is shorted to the cathode layer using portions of a metal layer that forms anodes for the diodes, may be formed from a mesh shaped metal pattern, may have L-shaped path segments, may include laser-deposited metal on the cathode layer, and may have other structures that facilitate distribution of the ground power supply.
