Abstract: A display driver comprises a touch controller configured to perform touch sensing on a display panel during a vertical sync period. A first field of the vertical sync period comprises a display period and a touch sensing period following the display period. A start timing of the touch sensing period is controlled by an internal clock signal. A first counter is configured to, responsive to completion of the touch sensing, start a counting operation in synchronization with the internal clock signal. Gate control signal generator circuitry is configured to control a gate driver that is configured to drive a plurality of gate lines of the display panel. A gate line that is to be driven first to a high level during a second field following the first field is driven to the high level responsive to a count value of the first counter during the first field.

Abstract: A display driver includes: a memory comprising a plurality of memory regions each configured to store image data for one line of an image displayed in a frame; and control circuitry configured to adjust a number of in-use memory regions of the plurality of memory regions used to store the image data. The control circuitry is further configured to control the memory so that image data for respective lines of the image are cyclically stored in the in-use memory regions in a fixed order.

Abstract: A halt period is inserted between a drive period in an odd-numbered field and a drive period in an even-numbered field in interlace driving. When drive signals driving subpixels are time-divisionally supplied to the display panel in units of subpixel types, switch control signals controlling source line switches which distribute the drive signals associated with respective subpixels to the corresponding source lines are generated so that the number of switching of the source line switches are reduced.
