Compensating for touch-screen coupling through display electrode

A touch-screen display device comprises a series of column electrodes and a series of row electrodes, with an electronic display layer arranged behind the series of column electrodes and behind the series of row electrodes. The series of row electrodes crosses the series of column electrodes such that the electrical impedance at each crossing of a row and column electrode is responsive to the proximity of a touch input to that crossing. A row-drive circuit is configured to apply an excitation signal to a selected row electrode and to concurrently apply a compensation signal to one or more other row electrodes, the compensation signal being out of phase with respect to the excitation signal. A column-sense circuit is configured to sense a column signal from the series of column electrodes and to provide a corresponding column output.
