Abstract

According to an aspect, a display apparatus includes: a plurality of gate lines; a plurality of first switches arranged in respective pixels in a display region; a plurality of second switches arranged in a frame region surrounding the display region; a first wire coupled to the respective second switches and supplying a detection drive signal to the respective gate lines through the respective second switches in a detection operation period; a third switch arranged in the frame region and coupled to the first wire; and a second wire coupled to the third switch and supplied with an off-state voltage, wherein the first wire is arranged between the second switches and the display region and the off-state voltage of the first switches is supplied to the first wire in a display operation period different from the detection operation period.

Claims (24)

1. A display apparatus comprising:

a plurality of gate lines;

a plurality of first switches arranged in respective pixels in a display region, each of the first switches being coupled to one of the gate lines;

a plurality of second switches arranged in a frame region surrounding the display region, each of the second switches being coupled to one of the gate lines;

a first wire coupled to the respective second switches and supplying a detection drive signal to the respective gate lines through the respective second switches in a detection operation period;

a third switch arranged in the frame region and coupled to the first wire; and

a second wire coupled to the third switch and supplied with an off-state voltage,

wherein the first wire is arranged between the second switches and the display region, and

the off-state voltage of the first switches is supplied to the first wire in a display operation period different from the detection operation period.

2. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first wire is grade-separated from the gate lines in the frame region.

3. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first wire is coupled to two or more of the gate lines through the respective second switches.

4. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the first wire is one of a plurality of first wires, and

the second switches and the first wires are provided on two opposite sides of the display region.

5. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first wire also serves as an output wire for a detection signal output from the gate lines.

6. A display apparatus comprising:

a plurality of gate lines;

a plurality of first switches arranged in respective pixels in a display region, each of the first switches being coupled to one of the gate lines;

a plurality of second switches arranged in a frame region surrounding the display region, each of the second switches being coupled to one of the gate lines;

a first wire coupled to the respective second switches and supplying a detection drive signal to the respective gate lines through the respective second switches in a detection operation period; and

a plurality of intersecting wires grade-separated from the gate lines in the display region, and supplied with the detection drive signal in the detection operation period, wherein

the first wire is arranged between the second switches and the display region, and

in a period when the detection drive signal is supplied to the intersecting wires, a guard signal is supplied to the gate lines through the first wire.

7. The display apparatus according to claim 6 , further comprising a detector configured to detect force based on detection signals output from the gate lines.
