Abstract
Embodiments of the disclosure describe data transmission via a touchscreen display of a mobile computing device. The mobile computing device includes a peripheral component, integrated into a touchscreen display surface housing, and a plurality of photonic pulse transmitters and receivers disposed on edges of the touchscreen display surface. One or more receivers receive pulses from the photonic pulse transmitters for detecting user touch inputs on the touchscreen display surface. A photonic pulse modulator modulates a pulse to be transmitted from one of the photonic pulse transmitters based, at least in part, on peripheral component data. A photonic pulse demodulator demodulates the modulated pulse received by the pulse detector(s) to retrieve the peripheral component data. By utilizing these pulse transmitters/receivers, used for user touch input detection, to also exchange data via modulated light, the bezel area around the touchscreen display surface may be reduced.
