Abstract

A touch display cell includes a light emitting diode (LED) and an LED touch sensor. The LED touch sensor includes a data drive input circuit operable to generate a transmit-receive signal based on a digital input. The transmit-receive signal includes a transmit signal component and a receive signal component. The LED touch sensor further includes a drive-sense circuit operable to: when the transmit signal component is active, forward bias the LED in accordance with a light intensity value of the transmit signal component such that the LED emits light, and when the receive signal component is active: reverse bias the LED such that the LED generates a current based on received light and generate a digital representation of the current. The LED touch sensor further includes a data output circuit operable to produce a digital representation of light intensity based on the digital representation of the current.
