Electronic device and method for scheduling display of image on basis of signal from touch circuit

An electronic device comprising:

• at least one processor comprising processing circuitry;
• touch circuitry;
• a display panel;
• display driver circuitry including memory;
• a first path connecting the at least one processor to the touch circuitry;
• and
• a second path connecting the display driver circuitry to the touch circuitry,
• wherein the display driver circuitry is configured to:
• based on a refresh rate lower than a reference refresh rate, display, on the display panel, an image;
• receive, through the second path, from the touch circuitry, a signal transmitted through the first path to the at least one processor, the signal indicating a contact on the image displayed on the display panel;
• in response to the signal, identify a start timing of a re-displaying of the image to be executed by scanning the image stored in the memory based on the refresh rate;
• based on the start timing being within a reference time interval from a reception timing of the signal, execute the re-displaying from the start timing;
• and
• based on the start timing being out of the reference time interval, refrain from executing the re-displaying.
