  • Publication number: 20140049496
    Abstract: An electronic device is described herein. The device can include a frame that has a perimeter and can include a display module that may be configured to display images. The device may also have a sensor that may be configured to detect touches from one or more objects in relation to the images displayed by the display module. In addition, the device can have a cover that may sit over the sensor and the display module and can be in contact with at least a portion of the frame. In one arrangement, the perimeter of the frame can be configured to force at least a portion of the cover into a convex position with respect to the display module.

  • Publication number: 20110032193
    Abstract: A touch-sensitive panel is described herein that includes a first sensor layer and a second sensor layer and at least one shield electrode integrated into the first sensor layer and/or the second sensor layer. The at least one shield electrode is operable to cancel parasitic capacitance between at least one sense electrode in the first sensor layer and at least one sense electrode in the second sensor layer. The integrated shield electrode(s) in the first sensor layer and/or the second sensor layer can be used in place of an additional shield layer to combat parasitic capacitance in the touch-sensitive panel, thereby reducing the cost and materials necessary to manufacture the touch-sensitive panel. A touch-screen display that includes such a touch-sensitive panel and a method of operating such a touch-sensitive panel are also described.
