  • Patent number: 11074890
    Abstract: To provide a display device that achieves both smooth input and a high detection sensitivity on a touch sensor unit. The display device includes a display unit and the touch sensor unit. The display device has three operation modes: normal display in which the entire display region is rewritten, partial IDS driving in which part of the display region is rewritten, and IDS driving in which the entire display region is not rewritten. The detection operation by the touch sensor unit is performed at a time different from the time of performing the rewriting operation of the display region, so that a high detection sensitivity is achieved. Furthermore, a period of performing the detection operation in each of the partial IDS driving and the IDS driving is set longer than a period of performing the detection operation in the normal display, which enables smooth input.

  • Patent number: 11062667
    Abstract: A display device that achieves both high-accuracy sensing by a touch sensor unit and smooth input using the touch sensor unit is provided. The display device includes a display unit and the touch sensor unit. The touch sensor unit performs touch sensing operation at a different timing from display image rewriting by the display unit, whereby the high-accuracy sensing can be achieved. The display unit has a function of rewriting a display image only in a region that needs to be rewritten. In the case where the entire display region is not necessarily rewritten, the time for the sensing operation by the touch sensor unit can be lengthened, whereby the smooth input can be achieved.
