Abstract: A display system includes a first memory and a display driver. The display system is configured to control the first memory to receive compensation information from the first memory with a first frequency and generate data signals for image data to be displayed on a display panel. The generation of the data signals comprises performing a compensation for the data signals based on the compensation information received from the first memory.

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 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 semiconductor device has a first mode in which the semiconductor device is used alone and a second mode in which the semiconductor device is used in combination with another semiconductor device. In case that one driven device is driven using the semiconductor device in the first mode and the second mode, power supply lines are caused to allow electrical conduction to each other outside of each semiconductor device in order to cancel errors of operation power supply voltages of each semiconductor device. In case that a power supply unit of each semiconductor device is operable by receiving an instruction for release of a low power consumption state, a supply start timing of the operation power supply voltages in the second mode is delayed as compared to that in the first mode.
