Abstract

A driving circuit is provided for display device having pixel electrodes and drive electrodes facing the pixel electrodes in display area. The driving circuit includes touch wiring that is routed in frame area located outside display area and supplies alternating current touch drive signal to drive electrodes; display wiring that supplies display drive voltage; and switches conducting between at least one of drive electrodes and touch wiring in touch detection period, and conducting between at least one of drive electrodes and display wiring in display period, wherein display wiring is disposed closer to display area than touch wiring.

Claims (26)

1. A driving circuit used for a display device having a plurality of pixel electrodes and a plurality of drive electrodes facing the plurality of pixel electrodes in a display area, the driving circuit comprising:

touch wiring that is routed in a frame area located outside the display area and supplies an alternating current touch drive signal to the drive electrodes;

display wiring that supplies a display drive voltage; and

a plurality of switches conducting between at least one of the drive electrodes and the touch wiring in a touch detection period, and conducting between at least one of the drive electrodes and the display wiring in a display period,

wherein the plurality of switches are arranged between the display wiring and the touch wiring.

2. The driving circuit according to claim 1 ,

wherein the display device further comprises a first gate driver, a second gate driver, and a plurality of scan lines,

wherein the first and second gate drivers are disposed with the scan lines interposed therebetween in an extending direction of the scan lines,

wherein the touch wiring includes first touch wiring on a first gate driver side and second touch wiring on a second gate driver side,

wherein the plurality of switches include a plurality of switches on the first gate driver side and a plurality of switches on a second gate driver side,

wherein the scan lines include a plurality of first scan lines that intersect with the first touch wiring in a grade separation manner and a plurality of second scan lines that intersect with the second touch wiring in a grade separation manner, and

wherein the switches on the first driver side are each arranged in an area between adjacent first scan lines in the plurality of first scan lines, and the switches on the second driver side are each arranged in an area between adjacent second scan lines in the plurality of second scan lines.

3. The driving circuit according to claim 2 ,

wherein a distance between the adjacent first scan lines and a distance between the adjacent second scan lines are each larger than a distance between adjacent scan lines in the plurality of scan lines in the display area.

4. The driving circuit according to claim 2 ,

wherein a distance between the scan lines intersecting with the touch wiring in a grade separation manner is a distance between adjacent scan lines of the plurality of scan lines in the display area.

5. The driving circuit according to claim 2 ,

wherein at least two scan lines in the plurality of scan lines are arranged between adjacent switches of the plurality of switches.

6. The driving circuit according to claim 1 ,

wherein each of the drive electrodes is provided corresponding to one or more switches of the plurality of switches, and

wherein the one or more switches provided for the drive electrode select either a connection between the drive electrode and the display wiring or a connection between the drive electrode and the touch wiring in a time-division manner.

7. The driving circuit according to claim 1 ,

wherein the switches are divided into a plurality of switch groups that are provided corresponding to the drive electrodes, and

wherein each of the switch groups includes a first switch for applying a first voltage to a corresponding drive electrode in the drive electrodes and a second switch for applying a second voltage to the corresponding drive electrode.

8. The driving circuit according to claim 1 ,

wherein the display wiring is provided with a direct-current voltage, and the touch wiring is provided with an alternating-current voltage.
