Abstract: Embodiments of a touch-sensitive display device are disclosed herein. According to a first aspect, a touch-sensitive display device comprises an electrode matrix including transmit electrodes and receive electrodes; a conductive plane; and a controller configured to cause a transmit electrode driver to drive the transmit electrodes in a mutual capacitance mode. The controller is configured to cause the transmit electrodes, the receive electrodes, and the conductive plane to be connected to a common charging voltage during charge periods of a self-capacitance mode; to, during discharge periods of the self-capacitance mode that alternate with the charge periods, cause the transmit electrodes, the receive electrodes, and the conductive plane to be connected to a common reference voltage; and to, during the discharge periods, cause the transmit electrodes and the receive electrodes to be coupled to receive circuitry configured to measure self-capacitance of the transmit electrodes and the receive electrodes.

Abstract: An electrode matrix comprises two orthogonal periodic arrays of mesh electrodes (400, 405), in which each array comprises an opaque, electrically conductive periodic mesh divided by gaps into a plurality of electrodes. The meshes of the two arrays use an identical rhombus-shaped unit cell, with the unit cell (ABCD) of the first array arranged interstitially to that (A'B'C'D') of the second array. The lengths of the diagonals (AC, BD) of the unit cell are chosen to simultaneously minimize the visibility of moire interactions with a particular display device, and to provide a geometric relationship between the electrode boundaries and the mesh that exactly repeats over a small-integer number of electrodes.

Abstract: An array of electrodes is comprised of a plurality of electrodes. Each electrode extends along a first direction X , and is periodically arrayed along a second direction Y perpendicular to X at a pitch pe . Each electrode further comprises a continuous periodic metal mesh having a square unit cell of edge length pm, the square unit cell having axes displaced by an oblique angle θ from X and Y . The array is configured such that θ = arctan ( a/b ) and pm = n*pe/ ( m*sqrt ( a 2 + b 2 )), where a, b, m, and n are positive integers. In this way, the electrodes repeat with a finite repeat length, while rendering the common edges of the repeating units visually imperceptible by a user.

Abstract: A display device comprises a sensing subsystem configured to detect one or more conditions associated with touch input to the display device occurring via a contact of an input object at a surface of the display device. The display device further comprises a microphone system configured to receive sound, a logic machine, and a storage machine holding instructions. The instructions are executable by the logic machine to determine, based on the one or more conditions, a time of the contact; determine, based on at least the time of the contact, sonic characteristics of the contact; and generate an audio output via applying a selective attenuation to process sound received into the microphone system. The selective attenuation is selected based on the sonic characteristics and applied over a time interval beginning at the determined time of contact.

Abstract: A display device includes an array of display pixels having display pixel apertures that are periodic along two orthogonal directions, x and y, at spatial frequencies f x and f y , respectively. An array of electrodes is overlaid on the array of display pixel apertures. The array of electrodes is comprised of a metal mesh having openings that are periodic along a first direction u at an angle θ u relative to x, and along a second direction v at an angle θ v relative to y, and at spatial frequencies f u and f v . The array of electrodes is overlaid on the array of display pixels such that the parameter set {θ u , f x , f u , θ v , f y , f v } satisfies specific geometric criteria in order to minimize perceptible moiré patterns.
