Abstract
A touch sensor panel can include a plurality of touch electrodes, one or more light detectors, a plurality of chiplets configurable for light sensing operation using the one or more light detectors or touch sensing operation using the plurality of touch electrodes, and processing circuitry coupled to the plurality of chiplets. The processing circuitry can be programmed to, in a first mode of touch sensing operation, in accordance with a determination that light detected by the one or more light detectors coupled to one or more first chiplets of the plurality of chiplets configured for the light sensing operation meets one or more first criteria, discard (or compensate) touch sensing results detected at the plurality of touch electrodes coupled to one or more second chiplets of the plurality of chiplets configured for the touch sensing operation.
