  • Publication number: 20230306913
    Abstract: A display driver includes a GRAM, a data driver, and a control circuit. The data driver is configured to: update, in a first mode, display elements of a display panel based on a command provided to the display driver asynchronously with a display vertical sync signal; update, in a second mode, the display elements based on image data stored in the GRAM in synchronization with the display vertical sync signal; and update, in a third mode, the display elements in synchronization with an external vertical sync signal. The control circuit is configured to: switch the display drive to a second mode in response to a first command; adjust, in the second mode, the display vertical sync signal based on an external vertical sync signal; and switch the display driver to the third mode after achieving synchronization of the display vertical sync signal with the external vertical sync signal.

  • Patent number: 11635845
    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 start timing of the touch sensing period is controlled by an internal clock signal. A first counter is configured to, responsive to completion of the touch sensing, start a counting operation in synchronization with the internal clock signal. Gate control signal generator circuitry is configured to control a gate driver that is configured to drive a plurality of gate lines of the display panel. 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.
