Embodiment Construction

[0021] Displays are widely used in electronic devices. For example, displays may be used in computer monitors, laptops, media players, cellular phones and other handheld devices, tablet computers, televisions, and other devices. Displays may be based on plasma technology, organic light emitting diode technology, liquid crystal structures, and the like.

[0022] Liquid crystal displays are popular because they exhibit low power consumption and good image quality. Liquid crystal display structures are sometimes described herein as examples.

[0023] figure 1 A perspective view of an exemplary electronic device with a display is shown. Such as figure 1 As shown in , electronic device 6 may have a housing such as housing 8 . Housing 8 may be made of materials such as plastic, glass, ceramic, metal, fiber composites, and combinations of these materials. The housing 8 may have one or more sections. For example, device 6 may have a display housing portion and a base housing po...

Abstract

A display may be provided with integral touch functionality. The display may include a common electrode layer having row electrodes arranged in rows and column electrodes interposed between the row electrodes of each row. The row electrodes may be electrically coupled by conductive paths. The row and column electrodes may be coupled to touch sensor circuitry that uses the row and column electrodes to detect touch events. Each electrode of the common electrode layer may cover a respective portion of an array of pixels. Each pixel of the display may have a respective aperture. The conductive paths that electrically couple row electrodes of the common electrode layer may cover or otherwise block some light from passing through pixels, resulting in reduced apertures. Dummy structures may be provided for other pixels that modify the apertures of the other pixels to match the reduced apertures associated with the conductive paths.

Description

[0001] This application claims priority to US Patent Application 14 / 226,710, filed March 26, 2014, and US Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 818,342, filed May 1, 2013, both of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. Background technique [0002] The present invention relates generally to displays, and more particularly to displays such as liquid crystal displays. [0003] Displays are widely used in electronic devices to display images. Displays such as liquid crystal displays display images by controlling liquid crystal material associated with an array of image pixels. A typical liquid crystal display has a color filter layer and a thin film transistor layer formed between polarizing layers. The color filter layer has an array of pixels, each pixel of which includes a color filter element of a different color. The thin film transistor layer contains an array of thin film transistor circuits. Thin-film transistor circuits can be adjusted to contro...
