Driver circuit driving display panel in two modes

Abstract

A driver circuit suitable driving a display panel is provided. The driver circuit includes a display driver circuit and a touch driver circuit. The display driver circuit drives the display panel to be operated in a first mode or a second mode. In the first mode, different areas of the display panel have different frame rates. In the second mode, different areas of the display panel have a same frame rate. The touch driver circuit is coupled to the display driver circuit. The touch driver circuit detects a touch event. When the touch driver circuit detects the touch event, the display driver circuit drives the display panel to be switched from the first mode to the second mode.
