Abstract

Light beam focusing components direct light from the top surface of a touch screen display to one or more imagers. The imager or imagers capture one or more images of the top surface of the touch screen display. A processing unit analyzes the image or images to determine the position of an input device on or near the top surface of the touch screen display.
