    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium for determining a tolerance specification of a clock synchronization between a touch display device (TDD) and a stylus. In the method, an accumulated timing error between the TDD and the stylus is determined based on crystal inaccuracies of the TDD and the stylus, connection interval of Bluetooth communication between the TDD and the stylus, and a number of consecutive failed transmissions of the Bluetooth communication. A total processing delay is determined based on a first processing delay and a second processing delay. The first processing delay is a time delay of sending a synchronization signal from touch driving circuitry of the TDD to Bluetooth circuitry of the TDD. The second processing delay is a time delay of sending a Bluetooth packet from the TDD to the stylus. The tolerance specification is determined based on the accumulated timing error and the total processing delay.

    Abstract: This document describes systems and techniques directed to touch sensor integration with enlarged active area displays. In aspects, a display includes a cover layer, an array of pixels, and a plurality of transistors that control an electrical activation of one or more pixels of the array of pixels. The plurality of transistors define a smaller area than the array of pixels such that at least one pixel of the array of pixels extends beyond the area defined by the plurality of transistors and above driving circuitry (“extended emitting area”). Variable pixel and/or transistor densities can support the extended emitting area. A touch sensor is integrated between the cover layer and the array of pixels and is operatively coupled to one or more touch trace routings that are, at least partially, disposed between the cover layer and one or more pixels within the extended emitting area.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides for an example stack of components for a display of a wearable device. The stack may include a first metal layer, a second metal layer, and an insulation layer separating the first and second metal layers. The first metal layer may be configured to be a touch screen and the second metal layer may be configured to be a near field communication antenna. The first metal layer may be connected to a first integrated circuit chip and the second layer may be connected to a second integrated circuit chip such that the touch sensor and the NFC antenna are on different circuits.

    Abstract: An apparatus can comprise a display, a first plurality of electrodes, a second plurality of electrodes, a dummy electrode, and a processor. The processor can cause the apparatus to recognize a contact in response to receiving input on at least one of the first plurality of electrodes and at least one of the second plurality of electrodes and receiving no input on the dummy electrode, and ignore a contact in response to receiving input on the dummy electrode, at least one of the first plurality of electrodes, and at least one of the second plurality of electrodes.
