A means inhibiting the display pixels within a sense region from refreshing during touch sensing mode

A touch sensitive display that has a first drive region (41) of connected display pixels, a second drive region (41) of connected display pixels, a sense region (42) of connected display pixels disposed between the first and second drive regions. Drive lines electrically connect together at least some of the display pixels of the first and second drive regions and electrically bypass display pixels of the sense region. The display includes a means for refreshing the display pixels during display mode of operation, means for detecting a touch event at the sense region during a touch sensing mode of operation and a means inhibiting the display pixels within the sense region from refreshing during touch sensing mode of operation. Inhibiting the display pixels is achieved applying a low voltage to gate lines (FIG 3, 35) of the display pixels.
