A control circuit is provided. A first input-output pin is coupled to a display device and a capacitive touch device. A second input-output pin is coupled to the display device and a capacitive touch device. A sensing circuit determines whether the capacitive touch device is touched according to the voltages of the first and second input-output pins. A display controller provides a first driving signal to the display device via the first input-output pin and provides a second driving signal to the display device via the second input-output pin in a first display period and a second display period. From the end time point of the first display period to the start time point of the second display period, the sensing circuit detects the voltage level of the first input-output pin and stops detecting the voltage of the second input-output pin.
A control circuit comprising:
9 The control circuit as claimed in claim 1, wherein from the end time point of the first display period to the start time point of the second display period, the sensing circuit provides a reference voltage to the first input-output pin and then detects the voltage level of the first input-output pin.
The control circuit as claimed in claim 9, wherein the reference voltage is one-third or one-quarter of a voltage of the first driving signal.
11 A display apparatus comprising:
The display apparatus as claimed in claim 11, wherein the display device is a passive matrix display device.
The display apparatus as claimed in claim 11, wherein the display device is a passive matrix organic light-emitting diode display device which comprises a display area to display an image, and the display area comprises a plurality of light-emitting diodes, and one of the light-emitting diodes is directly connected between the first input pin and the second input pin.
The display apparatus as claimed in claim 11, wherein:
The display apparatus as claimed in claim 11, wherein from the end time point of the first display period to the start time point of the second display period, the sensing circuit provides a reference voltage to the first input-output pin and then detects the voltage level of the first input-output pin, and the reference voltage is one-third or one-quarter of a voltage of the first driving signal.
