Abstract:
Some touch screens can be formed by at least partially integrating touch sensing circuitry into a display pixel stackup. In some examples, noise can be introduced into touch sensor panel measurements, for example, from display data lines of a display device proximate to the touch sensor panel. In some examples, rows or columns of touch electrodes can be split and a first portion of the touch sensor panel can be stimulated to measure capacitance and noise and a second portion of the touch sensor panel can be unstimulated and measure noise. In some examples, both the first and the second portions of the touch sensor panel can be stimulated using orthogonal stimulation codes. In some examples, measurements from the first and/or second portions of the touch sensor panel can be subtracted from measurements from the other portion of the touch sensor panel to eliminate or reduce common mode noise.
