Abstract

A display device with a touch sensor is provided and includes a substrate; pixel electrodes on the substrate; thin film transistors (TFTs) coupled to the pixel electrodes; touch sensor electrodes arranged opposite to the pixel electrodes; a gate buffer coupled to the TFTs; a first switch coupled to the gate buffer; first-L and first-H lines coupled to the first switch; a second line coupled to the gate buffer; and a drive control circuit applying a drive signal to the touch sensor electrodes, wherein a signal supplied to the TFTs is one of a pulse wave signal and a signal in which different three potentials are switched at given timings, wherein three potentials include a first potential supplied through the first-L line, a second potential supplied through the second line, and a third potential supplied through first-H line, wherein the first switch switches to couple the gate buffer with first-L line and first-H line in synchronization with the drive signal in which a first and second common potential are repeated, such that the TFT circuits are supplied with the pulse wave signal in which first and third potential are repeated, and wherein the third potential is greater than the first potential and less than the second potential.

Claims (18)

1. A display device with a touch sensor comprising:

a substrate;

a plurality of pixel electrodes on the substrate;

a plurality of thin film transistors (TFTs) coupled to each of the pixel electrodes;

a plurality of touch sensor electrodes arranged opposite to the pixel electrodes;

a gate buffer coupled to each of the TFTs;

a first switch coupled to the gate buffer;

a first-L line and a first-H line coupled to the first switch;

a second line coupled to the gate buffer; and

a drive control circuit applying a drive signal to each of the touch sensor electrodes,

wherein a signal supplied to the TFTs is one of a pulse wave signal and a signal in which different three potentials are switched at given timings,

wherein the three potentials include a first potential supplied through the first-L line, a second potential supplied through the second line, and a third potential supplied through first-H line,

wherein the first switch switches to couple the gate buffer with the first-L line and the first-H line in synchronization with the drive signal in which a first common potential and a second common potential are repeated, such that the TFT circuits are supplied with the pulse wave signal in which the first potential and the third potential are repeated, and

wherein the third potential is greater than the first potential and less than the second potential.

2. The touch sensor device according to claim 1 , wherein

each of the touch sensor electrodes has a rectangle shape, and

the drive control circuit sequentially applying the drive signal to each of the touch sensor electrodes in a direction in which the touch sensor electrodes are arranged.

3. The display device with the touch sensor according to claim 1 , wherein a potential of the signal supplied to the TFTs in a vertical blanking period and in a horizontal blanking period is the third potential.
