Abstract:

A display device includes a first display panel including N input/output (I/O) pads [I/Oto I/O] at a first side of the display device. A first display driver is operatively connected to the N I/O pads of the first display panel at the first side of the display device. A second display panel includes the N I/O pads at the first side of the display device. I/O pads I/Oand I/Oare a same type of I/O pad for M=0 to M=P for the first display panel and the second display panel. A second display driver, having a same configuration as the first display driver is operatively connected to the N I/O pads of the second display panel at the first side of the display device. A hinge pivotably connects the first display panel to the second display panel.

Abstract:

Flexible touch sensor techniques are described. A touch sensitive device includes a printed circuit board (PCB) having a touch controller and a flexible printed circuit having a flexible substrate and touch sensors formed thereon using a plurality of flexible traces arranged to detect proximity of an object. The plurality of flexible traces are extended along the flexible substrate to directly terminate onto a connector of the printed circuit board thereby forming a communicative coupling between the touch sensors and the touch controller, which thereby permits the touch controller to determine a location of the proximity of the object in relation to the touch sensors.
