1. A display device for sensing the proximity of a touch, comprising:
- an OLED display comprising a plurality of nodes configured to emit light when drive circuitry provides a signal across the plurality of nodes at or above an illumination threshold; and
measurement circuitry disposed proximate to the plurality of nodes, wherein the measurement circuitry is configured to sense the light reflected off of an object positioned over the OLED display and provide a measurement signal responsive to the sensed reflected light.

Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a display device with an OLED display including a plurality of nodes configured to emit light when drive circuitry provides a signal across the plurality of nodes at or above an illumination threshold. Measurement circuitry may be disposed proximate to the plurality of nodes and ma be configured to sense the light reflected off of an object positioned over the OLED display to provide measurement signals. The measurement signals can be evaluated to determine the location of the display proximate to the object that provides the reflected light.

14. A method for sensing a touch on an OLED display, comprising:
-
emitting light from a plurality of nodes on the OLED display when drive circuitry provides a signal across the plurality of nodes at or above an illumination threshold; detecting reflected light using measurement circuitry arranged along the edges of the OLED display to provide sensed signals corresponding to two or more objects proximate to the display, wherein the sensed signals for each object comprises a signal associated with an x-axis position and a signal associated with a y-axis position; and evaluating the sensed signals associated with the x-axis and y-axis to identify the location of the touch. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16)

17. A method for sensing the proximity of an object to an OLED display, comprising:
-
emitting light from a plurality of nodes on the OLED display when drive circuitry provides a signal across the plurality of nodes at or above an illumination threshold; detecting reflected light using measurement circuitry to provide a measurement signal, wherein the reflected light corresponds to at least a portion of emitted light that is reflected from the object proximate to the display; evaluating the measurement signal; and determining the location of the display proximate to the object providing the reflected light based on at least the evaluation of the detected reflected light. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
