Pixel Refresh Rate Adjustment Based on Touch Detection

An electronic display circuit comprising:

• a plurality of pixels;
• a plurality of touch sense electrodes;
• processing circuitry coupled to the plurality of pixels and the plurality of touch sense electrodes, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to:
• output a first set of image frames to the plurality of pixels during a single pixel line time of each refresh cycle duration based on a touch not being detected on a surface of the electronic display circuit;
• output a second set of image frames to the plurality of pixels during the single pixel line time of every other refresh cycle duration based on the touch being detected;
• and
• drive the plurality of touch sense electrodes during time periods non-overlapping with the single pixel line time of every other refresh cycle duration based on the touch being detected.

Tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by processing circuitry, cause the processing circuitry to:

• output a first set of image frames to a plurality of pixels of an electronic display during a single pixel line time of each refresh cycle duration;
• detect whether a touch is present on a surface of the electronic display while outputting the first set of image frames;
• output a second set of image frames to the plurality of pixels during the single pixel line time of every other refresh cycle duration in response to presence of the touch;
• and
• determine positions of the touch while outputting the second set of image frames.
