Claim Text:
1. A touch screen, comprising: a first conductive layer that acts as a common voltage layer in a display mode; a second conductive layer electrically isolated from the first conductive layer, the second conductive layer having source lines that transfer data to be displayed in the display mode and act as transmitting (TX) electrode lines in a touch sensing mode; a light control layer disposed above the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer; a driver that acts as a source driver to provide data to be displayed to the source lines in the display mode, and acts as a TX driver to provide transmitting signals in the touch sensing mode; wherein the first conductive layer includes a plurality of RX electrode lines and a plurality of blocks that are disposed among and separated by the plurality of RX electrode lines, the plurality of RX electrode lines and the plurality of blocks being electrically connected to a common voltage in the display mode; and a plurality of first conductive bridges being disposed over the first conductive layer and connecting the plurality of blocks.
