Abstract: In RGB time division drives, there is capacitor coupling due to the effects of fluctuation in the drain lines, and thus, the image quality deteriorates (lateral smearing), so that the display brightness becomes different from the desired display brightness due to delay in the convergence of the fluctuation of the common potential, and thus, it is a goal to prevent the image quality from deteriorating (lateral smearing). In RGB time division drives, the order of time division is switched for each frame, or in the direction of the horizontal lines.

Abstract: The electrostatic capacity coupling type touch panel includes X electrodes (XP) and Y electrodes (YP) which intersect each other via a first insulating layer, and a plurality of Z electrodes in floating states to each other via a second insulating layer. For the second insulating layer, a material which changes in thickness by pressing of touch is used. The Z electrode is disposed so as to overlap both an X electrode and a Y electrode which are adjacent to each other. In a pad part of the X electrode, an area is larger toward the center of the X electrode and an area is smaller toward the center of the adjacent X electrode. Therefore, the nonconductive input means can be used, and highly accurate position detection is realized with a small number of electrodes even when a touch area is small.
