1. An electronic display, comprising:
a touch sensing system configured to perform touch sensing in an active area of the electronic display;
display driver circuitry configured to program display pixels of the active area to emit light; and
the active area, wherein the active area comprises a first portion and a second portion of the active area that are at least partially electrically separated, and wherein the display driver circuitry is configured to program the display pixels in the first portion while the touch sensing system performs touch sensing in the second portion, and wherein the first portion comprises a first portion of a cathode and the second portion comprises a second portion of the cathode.
