Integrated radio frequency or near field communications antenna

A computing device, comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory device;
• a display component including a first plurality of conductive lines, a second plurality of conductive lines, and a first insulating layer interposed between the first plurality of conductive lines and the second plurality of conductive lines;
• a touch component including a third plurality of conductive lines, a fourth plurality of conductive lines, and a second insulating layer interposed between the third plurality of conductive lines and the fourth plurality of conductive lines;
• and
• a radio frequency (RF) antenna disposed on at least one of:
• (a) a first layer corresponding to the first plurality of conductive lines and a second layer corresponding to the second plurality of conductive lines, one or more first segments of the RF antenna being connected to one or more second segments of the RF antenna through the first insulating layer;
• or (b) a third layer corresponding to the third plurality of conductive lines and a fourth layer corresponding to the fourth plurality of conductive lines, the one or more first segments of the RF antenna being connected to the one or more second segments of the RF antenna through the second insulating layer.

A method for assembling a computing device, comprising:

• disposing a first plurality of conductive lines on a surface, at least a first subset of the first plurality of conductive lines forming a first portion of an RF antenna;
• disposing an insulation layer on the first plurality of conductive lines;
• and
• disposing a second plurality of conductive lines on the insulation layer, at least a first subset of the second plurality of conductive lines forming a second portion of the RF antenna, one or more segments of the first portion of the RF antenna being connected to one or more segments of the second portion of the RF antenna through the insulation layer,
• wherein at least one of:
• (a) at least a second subset of the first plurality of conductive lines and at least a second subset of the second plurality of conductive lines form scan lines and signal lines of a display component, respectively;
• or (b) the at least the second subset of the first plurality of conductive lines and the at least the second subset of the second plurality of conductive lines form drive lines and sense lines of a touch component, respectively.
