  • Patent number: 10592058
    Abstract: A touch panel driving device, for sequentially performing scanning for selecting a pair of adjacent transmission signal lines and a pair of adjacent reception signal lines on a touch panel, includes a reception circuit configured to receive reception signals whose waveforms are changed by a capacitance change caused by an operation from the pair of reception signal lines of the touch panel and generate a detection value for monitoring a touch panel operation. The reception circuit generates the detection value by comparing levels of the reception signals from the reception signal lines while sequentially switching capacitance values of a measurement capacitance unit connected to one of the reception signal lines. The measurement capacitance unit includes capacitance units each forming a certain capacitance value by parallel connection or series connection of capacitors as a capacitance unit forming one capacitance value used for switching the capacitance value of the measurement capacitance unit.

  • Publication number: 20140292832
    Abstract: In a display control method applied to a display device including a display panel, statistics of luminance information of each row of display data is gathered and a statistical table of luminance information of each row of the display data is generated. A lookup table for each row of the display data, which defines a relationship between luminance and compensated pulse widths of each row of the display data, is generated according to the statistical table of luminance information of each row of the display data and a pulse width compensation table. Compensated display data is generated according to lookup tables of each row of the display data and the display data. Data driving signals and scan driving signals are generated according to the compensated display data. The data driving signals and the scan driving signals are outputted to the display panel to display an image.
