Abstract: A display device may include a display having a plurality of pixels. The display device may also include a replica pixel circuit having a switching device configured to output a first current based on a received voltage, a light-emitting diode (LED) configured to illuminate to a first gray level based on the first current output by the switching device, and current mirror circuitry configured to generate a second current that mirrors the first current. In addition, the replica pixel circuit may include a current source configured to output a reference current based on a voltage value that corresponds to the received voltage, comparator circuitry configured to determine a difference between the second current and the reference current, and voltage adjustment circuitry configured to adjust a source voltage output provided to the plurality of pixels based on the difference.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are liquid-crystal display (LCD) touch screens that integrate the touch sensing elements with the display circuitry. The integration may take a variety of forms. Touch sensing elements can be completely implemented within the LCD stackup but outside the not between the color filter plate and the array plate. Alternatively, some touch sensing elements can be between the color filter and array plates with other touch sensing elements not between the plates. In another alternative, all touch sensing elements can be between the color filter and array plates. The latter alternative can include both conventional and in-plane-switching (IPS) LCDs. In some forms, one or more display structures can also have a touch sensing function. Techniques for manufacturing and operating such displays, as well as various devices embodying such displays are also disclosed.

Abstract translation: 这里公开了将触摸感测元件与显示电路集成的液晶显示（LCD）触摸屏。 整合可能采取各种形式。 触摸感应元件可以在LCD叠层中完全实现，但不在滤色器板和阵列板之间。 或者，一些触摸感测元件可以在滤色器和阵列板之间，而其它触摸感测元件不在印版之间。 在另一替代方案中，所有触摸感测元件可以在滤色器和阵列板之间。 后一种替代方案可以包括常规和平面内切换（IPS）LCD。 在一些形式中，一个或多个显示结构也可以具有触摸感测功能。 还公开了用于制造和操作这种显示器的技术以及体现这种显示器的各种装置。
