Patent number: 12056315Abstract: A method for determining for determining response for a touch display panel begins by receiving an analog input signal from a data drive input circuit that is operable to generate an analog input signal based on a digital input. The method continues by generating a reference signal voltage from the analog input signal, generating a data signal voltage from the analog input signal and using a difference detection circuit, outputting an analog output voltage. The method then continues by generating an error correction current based on the analog output voltage, where the error correction current adjusts the data signal voltage in order to keep inputs to the difference detection circuit substantially equal. Finally, the method finishes by generating a current representative of a light intensity for light received by a sensor cell associated with the touch display panel, converting the analog output signal into a digital representation of the current and producing information representative of light intensity.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2023Date of Patent: August 6, 2024Assignee: SigmaSense, LLC.Inventors: Daniel Keith Van Ostrand, Gerald Dale Morrison, Richard Stuart Seger, Jr., Timothy W.
