    Abstract: A stylus includes a housing that defines a force input surface opposite a touch input surface. A spring member in the housing includes a first arm that biases a touch sensor toward the touch input surface. The spring member also includes a second arm that biases a first force electrode toward the housing and allows the first force electrode to move toward a second force electrode when a force is applied to the force input surface. A non-binary amount of the force is determinable using a change in a mutual capacitance between the first force electrode and the second force electrode. The mutual capacitance between the first force electrode and the second force electrode may be measured upon detecting a touch using the touch sensor.

    Abstract: Driving a display of an input-display device includes generating, during a first display frame, a first touch sensing waveform to be applied to a touch screen of the display, and generating, during a second display frame, a second touch sensing waveform to be applied to the touch screen. The first touch sensing waveform generates on the display a first touch-to-display noise pattern of touch-to-display noise artifacts. The second touch sensing waveform generates on the display a second touch-to-display noise pattern of touch-to-display noise artifacts. The second touch-to-display noise pattern mitigates the first touch-to-display noise pattern.

    Abstract: A processing device scans a capacitive sense array to determine a characteristic of a noise signal. A processing device further detects a location of a touch proximate to the capacitive sense array by a passive touch object using a first mode of capacitance touch detection. The first mode of capacitive touch detection uses a capacitive coupling of the noise signal to the capacitive sense array through the passive touch object to detect the touch.

    Abstract: Disclosed are an electronic device including a narrow bezel and a proximity sensing method for the electronic device. The electronic device includes: a first sensor configured to be arranged in a first area which is at least part of the non-display area of a front surface including a display, and to detect first capacitance between a first object in front of the front surface and the first sensor; a second sensor configured to be arranged in a first side surface adjacent to the first area, and to detect second capacitance between a second object in front of the first side surface and the second sensor; and a processor configured to generate sensing information by compensating the first capacitance based on the second capacitance, and to determine the proximity of the first object based on the sensing information.
