Abstract: Touch sensitive display technologies (e.g., integrated touch-display pixel-based systems) are evolving to contain more analog and digital circuits inside the panel itself instead of the traditionally simple thin-film transistors. This improves the display characteristics but makes those circuits more vulnerable to the impact of external ESD strikes, which can degrade the user experience. This disclosure describes a series of circuits and techniques to mitigate the impact of these discharges on front of screen artifacts and potential false touches. These circuits and techniques may include: performing configuration-only panel updates independently of the image refresh rate, improving the in-panel memory circuits to make them resistant to unexpected pin toggles via disabling of a write path in response to a read clock, implementing a pin corruption detector and implementing a supply injection detector.
