摘要： 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.

摘要： A vertical color filter sensor group formed on a substrate (preferably a semiconductor substrate) and including at least two vertically stacked, photosensitive sensors. In preferred embodiments, the sensor group includes at least one filter positioned relative to the sensors such that radiation that has propagated through or reflected from the filter will propagate into at least one sensor. Preferably, the filter is or includes a layer that has been integrated with the sensors by a semiconductor integrated circuit fabrication process. In other embodiments, the sensor group includes a micro-lens. Other aspects of the invention are arrays of vertical color filter sensor groups, some or all of which include at least one filter or micro-lens, and methods for fabricating vertical color filter sensor groups and arrays thereof.

摘要： An array of light control units has an area large enough to present images for direct viewing. The array also has light control units sufficiently dense that ordinary acuity artifacts are not noticeable in presented images when the array is directly viewed at usual viewing distances by a human with normal vision. Signal circuitry can provide signals to the light control units. The array can present an image that includes M colors, where M is more than three, even though each light control unit can only cause presentation of one of a segment with one of a set of N colors, where N is less than M. Data defining an input image with M colors are used to obtain data defining an output image that is a version of the input image but includes, for each light control unit, a color data item indicating one of its set of N colors. The signal circuitry provides signals to the light control units so that each light control unit presents a segment with the color indicated by its color data item. As a result, the array presents the output image so that its appearance to a human with normal vision viewing the array at usual viewing distances is substantially identical to the appearance the input image would have if presented.

摘要： A thin-film structure on an insulating substrate includes an array of binary control units with an area of at least 90 cm.sup.2 and a density of at least 60 binary control units per cm. One implementation has an area of approximately 510 cm.sup.2, a diagonal of approximately 33 cm, and a total of approximately 6.3 million binary control units. Each binary control unit has a lead for receiving a unit drive signal, to which it responds by causing presentation of a segment of images presented by the array. Each binary control unit can present a segment with either a first color having a maximum intensity or a second color having a minimum intensity. Each binary control unit's unit drive signal causes the binary control unit to present its first and second colors. The substrate can be glass. Each binary control unit can include an amorphous silicon thin-film transistor (TFT) and a storage capacitor. Each binary control unit can be square. The thin-film structure can be used in an active matrix liquid crystal display (AMLCD), monochrome or, with an appropriate filter, color.
