  • Patent number: 11726361
    Abstract: An in-cell touch panel includes a mode switching control circuit and a counter substrate electrode control circuit. The mode switching control circuit switches, in a time-division manner, the operation mode of the in-cell touch panel between a display mode in which a display signal is supplied by a display control circuit to pixel electrodes, and a touch detection mode in which a driving signal is supplied by a driving control circuit to touch sensor electrodes. The counter substrate electrode control circuit supplies a counter substrate electrode with a signal that is in synchronization with the driving signal and that has the same polarity as that of the driving signal in a period while the in-cell touch panel is in the touch detection mode, or causes the potential of the counter substrate electrode to be in a floating state in a period while the in-cell touch panel is in the touch detection mode.

  • Publication number: 20210149539
    Abstract: Provided is a touch-panel-integrated display device that, even in a case where it is caused to operate in the wake-up mode, flicker does not occur when the device returns from the sleep state. The touch-panel-integrated display device includes a plurality of electrodes provided in the display area, and a plurality of lines that are connected with the electrodes, wherein a touch scan signal is supplied to the plurality of lines, and a touch operation is detected based on changes in capacitances of the electrodes. When a predetermined time has elapsed since the last time a touch operation was detected, an operation state is shifted to a sleep state in which updating of display in the display panel is stopped. When a touch operation is detected by a detection circuit in the sleep state, the updating of the display in the display panel is resumed.
