Abstract

See full text

Synchronization of display functions and various touch, stylus and/or force sensing functions for devices including a variable refresh rate (VRR) display is disclosed. In some examples, touch, stylus and/or force sensing functions can be synchronized with display frames and a display refresh rate can be adjusted by extended blanking of the display for one or more display frames. In other examples, touch, stylus and/or force sensing functions can be synchronized with display sub-frames and a display refresh rate can be adjusted by extended blanking of the display for one or more display sub-frames. Pre-warning synchronization signals can be generated to prepare one or more scan controllers to implement the appropriate scan events during and after extended blanking periods. Latency between the scan results and the corresponding image on the display can be corrected in software and/or firmware by time-stamping scan results or by dropping scan results from uncompleted scans.
