TOUCH SENSING INTEGRATED WITH DISPLAY DATA UPDATES
First Claim
1. A method for reducing electrical interference on a display, the method comprising:
- placing at least a portion of an array of display elements in a selected state with display driver circuitry;
maintaining the display elements in the selected state; and
obtaining a signal from a touch-sensing element using touch sensing driver circuitry different from said display driver circuitry substantially only while the display elements remain in the selected state.

Abstract
This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for touch sensing on a display device. In one aspect, a method is provided for reducing electrical interference on a display including bi-stable display elements and touch sensing elements without a grounded shielding layer between display elements and touch sensing elements. The method may include placing at least a portion of an array of bi-stable display elements in a selected state with display driver circuitry, maintaining the display elements in the selected state, and obtaining a signal from a touch-sensing element using touch sensing driver circuitry different from the display driver circuitry when the display elements remain in the selected state.

13. A display apparatus with touch-sensing capability comprising:
-
an array of display elements; an array of touch-sensing elements, wherein the touch-sensing elements are formed over the display elements without being separated by a grounded shield layer; a touch-sensing driver circuit configured to detect input from at least a portion of the touch-sensing elements; a display driving circuit configured to place at least a portion of the display elements in a selected state, wherein the display driving circuit is configured thereafter to maintain the portion of the display elements in the selected state; and a processor configured to write image data to the display driver circuit; and obtain touch-sensing input from the at least a portion of touch sensing elements when the portion of the display elements are maintained in the selected state. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
