Patent number: 9195352Abstract: Provided is a touch sensor panel which can increase the detection sensitivity of a touch relatively readily. The touch sensor panel controller supplies drive electrodes of a touch sensor panel with a high-voltage AC drive signal with its low level set to a negative voltage and drives them. The time of change of a drive waveform supplied to the drive electrodes of the touch sensor panel is shifted relative to the time of change of a drive waveform supplied to a display scan electrode. The touch sensor panel controller uses a charge pump in synchronization with clock signals of more than one phase to produce a high drive voltage to activate drive electrodes of the touch sensor panel, and the clock signals of more than one phase are initialized each time the drive electrode is subjected to AC pulse driving.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2012Date of Patent: November 24, 2015Assignee: SYNAPTICS DISPLAY DEVICES GKInventors: Akihito Akai, Tatsuya Ishii, Kazuya Endo, Shinobu Notomi, Akihiro Kodama
