Touch Display
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- a touch display comprising a plurality of pixel elements and touch sensor elements;
a display driver circuitry comprising a plurality of output channels each corresponding to a different row of pixel elements of the touch display;
a touch detection driver circuitry comprising a plurality of input channels each corresponding to a different row of touch sensor elements;
a plurality of common communication lines connected to a plurality of first separators, each of the first separators being connected to a predetermined pixel element and to a predetermined touch sensor element;
each of the common communication lines being further connected to one of the output channels of the display driver and via a second separator to one of the input channels of the touch detection driver; and
wherein the output channels of the display driver circuitry are configured to provide different common communication lines with electric signals configured to enable separately for each of the common communication lines either communication between the output channel connected to the common communication line in question and one pixel element while separating with the first and second separators the input channel and touch sensor element from the common communication line in question, or between the input channel connected to the common communication line in question and one touch sensor element by causing the first and second separators to pass information.

Abstract
In an embodiment, a touch display has a plurality of pixel elements and touch sensor elements. The touch display further has a display driver circuitry containing a plurality of output channels each corresponding to a different row of pixel elements of the touch display, and a touch detection driver circuitry containing a plurality of input channels each corresponding to a different row of touch sensor elements. Further, the touch display has a plurality of common communication lines connected to a plurality of first separators. Each of the first separators is connected to a predetermined pixel element and to a predetermined touch sensor element. Each of the common communication lines is further connected to one of the output channels of the display driver and via a second separator to one of the input channels of the touch detection driver.
