A method includes: displaying, an image on a display by sequentially displaying a plurality of frames of the image, the plurality of frames including a first frame and second frame; performing a first noise sampling scan at a plurality of frequencies at a first time location within a first frame; determining a first frequency from the plurality of frequencies with the lowest noise; performing a first mutual sensing scan at the first frequency; performing, a second noise sampling scan at the plurality of frequencies at a second time location within a second frame of the plurality of frames, the second time location being a different frame location than the first time location; determining a second frequency from the plurality of frequencies with the lowest noise, the second frequency being different from the first frequency; and performing, a second mutual sensing scan at the second frequency.

Dynamic noise sampling for unspecified display noise

A method for operating an electronic device, the method including: displacing a rollable touchscreen to a first position along a first direction, a first side of the rollable touchscreen being mounted in a housing, the rollable touchscreen being configured to be rolled into or unrolled out of the housing along the first direction, detecting an active electrode at a first location on the rollable touchscreen, the active electrode being mounted in the housing, and determining the first position of the rollable touchscreen based on the first location, the first positing being indicative of a fractional amount of the rollable touchscreen outside the housing.

Position detection in rollable displays

An embodiment method for operating an electronic device includes transmitting, from a controller, a tearing effect (TE) signal to a touchscreen over a first period of time, the first period of time occurring during a first frame and having a duration that is shorter than a period of the first frame, the TE signal being configured to restrict image data from being displayed on the touchscreen during the first period of time; displaying the first frame of a plurality of frames of the image data on a display of the touchscreen over a second period of time within the period of the first frame other than during the first period of time; and detecting, at the controller, a first touch by performing a first self-sensing scan during the first period of time.

Touchscreen displays

In an embodiment, a method includes performing a calibration of a first touch cell of a touch screen, where performing the calibration includes: receiving a first code associated with the first touch cell; receiving a second code associated with the first touch cell; determining whether there is an indication of a touch of the touch screen based on the first and second codes; generating a raw code based on the first or second codes; receiving a third code associated with the first touch cell; determining whether the third code matches the raw code; and in response to determining that there is no indication of a touch of the touch screen based on the first and second codes, and that the third code matches the raw code, updating a calibration code associated with the first touch cell based on the raw code or the third code.
