The touch sensor is not a separate layer
Apple offered a technical explanation of how the PROLED display in its touchscreen MacBook Pro works. According to the company, the touch sensor is not a separate layer added on top of the screen.
Why it matters
Adding a touch sensor as a separate layer can make a display thicker and affect image quality. Apple's approach aims to avoid this by building the sensor into the panel's structure.
What changes
With this design, the MacBook Pro's display keeps its current thinness despite the touch support. Apple's explanation is one of the first technical details to emerge after the launch.
