Patent number: 9250740Abstract: It becomes possible to use drive pulses having different pulse widths for one kind of drive pulse signal period. Therefore, even if a voltage acting on a crossing part of drive and detection electrodes is periodically changed through a stray capacitance attributed to an external object such as a finger in an undesired manner, the pulse width of the drive pulse is never fixed with respect to the period, and the periodic buildup of a certain voltage on a detection signal, which would make appreciable noise, is suppressed. Thus, the reduction of detection signals can be suppressed in quantity without switching the pulse signal frequency of the drive pulse of a touch panel.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2013Date of Patent: February 2, 2016Assignee: Synaptics Display Devices GKInventors: Akihito Akai, Tatsuya Ishii, Kazuo Okado
