A touch panel display configured to improve touch panel detection for sensor panels embedded in display modules. Touch panel detection can be improved by arranging an optically anisotropic cover over a display module within which an optical sensor panel is embedded. Since the optically anisotropic cover comprises light-guiding channels through which light is guided by total internal reflection, the cover can effectively shift the sensor plane from an outer surface of the cover, near the location of an object to be detected, to an inner surface of the cover, near the location of the sensor panel. In additional, the optically anisotropic cover can effectively shift the image plane from the inner surface of the cover, near the display module, to the outer surface of the cover, near the viewing surface.
