Process of integrating a digitizer input device in a display
First Claim
1. A process of forming a digitizer for user input with respect to a display module, comprising:
- providing a display module having a display element, which comprises a first substrate and a second at a distance from the first substrate, defining a space therebetween, in which the display element is supported; and
providing the digitizer in the space defined by the first substrate and second substrate, between the display element and one of the first substrate and second substrate.

Abstract
A process for integrating digitizer sensor array into flat panel displays. The sensor array is formed on the side of the display element (e.g., LC layer or OLED layer) where the pixel control switches (e.g., thin film transistors (TFTs)) of the display module are present, or on the other side of the display element where the pixel control switches are not present. In particular, the sensor array may be formed (a) before planarization layer of the pixel control switches, (b) after forming the planarization layer of the pixel control switches, (c) prior to forming the pixel control switches (e.g., formed on the substrate, before or after forming an electrode on the substrate), and/or (d) formed above or below a color filter layer, e.g., in the case of an LCD module, or above or below the encapsulating layer, e.g., in the case of an OLED display module.
