Abstract

A pressure sensing architecture for use with liquid crystal (LC), organic light emitting diode (OLED), electrophoretic, or other similarly fabricated displays. The described architecture includes a bottom TFT structure and a top structure with color filter material, and with liquid crystal, electrophoretic or OLED material provided in between. A piezoelectric or equivalent material is provided within the display assembly. Transmitting and receiving electrodes can be used to electrically bias the piezoelectric or equivalent material, which provides an analog electrical signal in response to incident touch pressure.
