1. A system that integrates a touch sensor and near field communication antenna technology to provide communications in a touch sensitive portable electronic appliance, said system comprising:
- a display screen;
a touch sensor disposed on top of the display screen to thereby create a touchscreen;
a receiving near field communication antenna disposed between the display screen and the touch sensor and that may only function for receiving a signal; and
a transmitting near field communication antenna disposed underneath the display screen and that may only function for transmitting a signal through the touchscreen, wherein the receiving near field communication antenna is smaller than the transmitting near field communication antenna.
