  • Patent number: 9116588
    Abstract: A signal processing circuit of a touch screen is provided. The signal processing circuit can include driving and sensing lines arranged to interact with one another in a touch screen panel, power sources supplying power to each of the driving lines, and sensing channels detecting touch by sensing a mutual capacitance on a node where the sensing line interacts with the driving line. The circuit can also include driving line switches selectively connecting the power sources to the driving lines, channel switches selectively connecting the sensing channels to the sensing lines, and a bypass line allowing the driving line to be connected to the sensing line by operation of the channel switches.
