  • Patent number: 10572055
    Abstract: Discussed are a driving method, a touch sensing circuit, a display panel, and a touch display device in which touch driving of driving touch electrodes using a multi-frequency driving method while modulating a frequency of a touch driving signal of a pulse type. The touch driving signal drives at least one touch electrode and senses a touch or a touch position in touch sections for a touch mode. Each of the touch sections for the touch mode includes k or more unit touch sections. The frequency of the touch driving signal output in at least one unit touch section is different from the frequency of the touch driving signal output in another unit touch section. Accordingly, it is possible to enable touch sensing and to suppress an EMI phenomenon which may occur due to the touch driving signal.

  • Patent number: 10042470
    Abstract: A touch sensing method, a touch sensing circuit, and a touch display device perform multifrequency touch driving by varying the frequencies of touch driving signals when sensing a touch or a touched position by outputting pulse-type touch driving by which one or more touch electrodes among a number of touch electrodes disposed on a display panel are driven sequentially. Undesired parasitic capacitance that would otherwise be caused by touch driving signals is prevented from occurring, and EMI influence is reduced.

  • Patent number: 9335861
    Abstract: A touch sensing system and a driving method thereof are provided. The touch sensing system includes: a touch screen drive circuit which senses a change in the amount of electric charge in touch sensors during a sensing period, generates raw data and temporarily stores it in a buffer memory, transmits the raw data read out from the buffer memory to an algorithm execution unit during a raw data transmission period, and calculates the coordinates of touch input by the algorithm execution unit during an algorithm execution period. The touch screen drive circuit controls the amount of data stored in the buffer memory and the start timing of a read operation to make the sensing period and the raw data transmission period overlap each other.
