Abstract
Discussed are a display device integrated with a touch screen and a method of driving the same, which can save the manufacturing cost and prevent the degradation of display quality caused by touch driving.
Claims14
A display device integrated with a touch screen, comprising:
- a lower substrate configuring a liquid crystal panel, a plurality of gate lines and a plurality of data lines being arranged to intersect each other in the lower substrate;
- an upper substrate configuring the liquid crystal panel, the upper substrate being coupled to the lower substrate with a liquid crystal layer therebetween;
- a pixel electrode disposed in the lower substrate;
- a common electrode disposed in the lower substrate or the upper substrate;
- a gate driver supplying a scan signal to the plurality of gate lines;
- a data driver supplying data voltages to the respective data lines;
- a touch IC supplying a touch driving signal to the gate line, the data line, or the common electrode;
- a switching unit switching input or output of signals such that a display signal for image display is supplied to the liquid crystal panel during a display period, and the touch driving signal is supplied to the liquid crystal panel during a non-display period;
- and
- a timing controller controlling driving of each of the gate driver, data driver, and touch IC.
7 more elements
A method of driving a display device integrated with a touch screen built in a liquid crystal panel, which includes a driving circuit unit for display driving and touch driving, the method comprising:
- supplying respective display signals for image display to a gate line, a data line, a pixel electrode, and a common electrode which are disposed in the liquid crystal panel, during a display period;
- and
- driving the gate line or the data line as a touch driving electrode to sense a touch, during a non-display period.
