Abstract
Displays, such as LCD displays, can include integrated optical components such as energy emitters, detectors, reflective material, etc. for position detection based on energy traveling over a touch surface. A display device comprising a panel can accommodate at least one optical component to direct light over the touch surface and/or to receive light directed over the touch surface. The touch surface may be part of the display or a layer atop the display. The device with integrated component(s) can be included in a display, which includes a display bezel. Embodiments may use a frame structure to position an optical component close to the top surface of the display and may be mounted to a flat panel atop the panel bezel and beneath the display bezel and/or a transparent member can interface with a support member which supports optical component(s) that direct and/or receive light traveling over the transparent member.
