Apple is supposed to work on a technology that could make the displays thinner and brighter than the current iPhone models. In a recently published patent, Apple has highlighted the development of pixels that can display images and a touch of log entries. Today, touch sensors are provided in the pixel transparent image that allows to achieve the touch input functionality without interfering with the display of images. However, Apple says it has some potential disadvantages, such as weight and thickness to add to the screen. With the touch input overlap, the brightness of images were also reduced. To remedy this, Apple has developed a dual role that capacitive element pixels to display images, but also let them register touch input. In his patent, the inventors write:

"[T crown] double capacitive elements form part of the display systems that generate an image on screen and also part of a touch detection system that detects events on or near the touch screen. Capacitive elements can be, for example, capacitors pixel LCD screen that is configured to operate individually, each
