An integrated touch screen and OLED flat-panel display includes a touch screen
having a touch screen substrate with electrical contacts for receiving touch screen
signals and conductive vias through the substrate and electrically connected to
the electrical contacts; an OLED flat-panel display having a display substrate
with electrical contacts for receiving display signals and an exposed area on the
display substrate for providing electrical connection to the electrical contacts
of the display and the touch screen; and wherein the touch screen substrate is
the cover or substrate of the OLED flat-panel display, the conductive vias are
electrically connected to conductors and electrical contacts located on the display
substrate, and the substrate of the OLED flat-panel display protrudes beyond the
cover to provide electrical connection to the electrical contacts of the display
and touch screen.
