Patent attributes
Touch sensitive displays are disclosed that can include circuitry that is segmented into multiple portions that can be independently operated. Touch sensitive display circuitry can be split in half with an upper portion and a lower portion that can each be independently operated. The separate circuitry portions can be used for performing display operations and for performing touch sensing operations. Display operations can be performed in one portion of the display while touch sensing operations are simultaneously performed in another portion of the display. Periodically, the operation being performed in a given portion of the display can be switched so as to alternatingly update that portion of the display and sense touch events in that region.
