Abstract

A display device is configured to float a display electrode coupled to a touch sensor by parasitic capacitance when an uplink signal is transmitted to a touch pen through the touch sensor.

Claims (14)

1. A display device comprising:

a display electrode layer on which display electrodes are disposed;

a touch sensor layer on which touch sensors are disposed;

a display-driving device configured to supply a display-driving voltage to the display electrode; and

a touch-driving device configured to transmit an uplink signal to a touch pen and receive a downlink signal from the touch pen, through the touch sensor,

wherein a parasitic capacitance is formed between the display electrode and the touch sensor, and when the touch-driving device transmits the uplink signal, the display electrode is supplied with a modulation signal identical in phase to the uplink signal.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the display electrode is a cathode electrode of an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) panel, and when the uplink signal is transmitted, the modulation signal is supplied to a data line or gate line of the OLED panel.

3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the modulation signal has a square, trapezoidal, sine, or triangular waveform.

4. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the display electrode is a cathode electrode of an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), and an insulation film is interposed between the display electrodes and the touch sensors.

5. A touch-driving device configured to transmit an uplink signal to a touch pen and receive a downlink signal from the touch pen, the touch-driving device comprising:

an uplink controlling unit configured to transmit the uplink signal through a touch sensor while supplying a modulation signal identical in phase to the uplink signal to a display electrode, which forms a parasitic capacitance with the touch sensor therebetween, in a first time interval; and

a downlink controlling unit configured to receive the downlink signal through the touch sensor in a second time interval which does not overlap the first time interval.

6. The touch-driving device of claim 5 , wherein the first time interval is included in a time interval in which a display is not updated.

7. The touch-driving device of claim 5 , wherein the touch sensor is a cathode electrode of an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) panel, and the display electrode is a driving voltage line configured to supply a driving voltage to an OLED disposed in each pixel of the OLED panel.
