Touch sensor integrated type display device and method of operating the same

A method of operating a touch sensor integrated type display device including a display panel including first and second panel blocks, each of the first and second panel blocks including a pixel array in which touch sensors are embedded, the method comprising:

• during a touch sensing period, by a touch sensing circuit, driving the touch sensors of each of the first and second panel blocks,
• during a display period:
• by a display driving circuit, providing image data to pixels of each of the first and second panel blocks;
• and
• by a shift register included in the display driving circuit, sequentially providing gate pulses to gate lines,
• by a first stage group included in the shift register, applying a gate pulse to gate lines in the first panel block;
• by a bridge stage, providing a first carry signal in synchronization with a first bridge clock, the bridge stage being included in the shift register, the bridge stage being connected in cascade to a last stage of the first stage group;
• and
• by a second stage group included in the shift register, applying a gate pulse to gate lines in the second panel block,
• wherein a first stage of the second stage group operates in response to the first carry signal,
• wherein the first carry signal is generated by the bridge stage and is provided only to the first stage of the second stage group,
• wherein a second carry signal is generated by the bridge stage and is provided only to the last stage of the first stage group, and
• wherein applying the first bridge clock before the first stage of the second stage group provides the gate pulse in the display period in which an image is displayed on the pixels of the second panel block.
