Abstract

Disclosed are a touch display circuit and a touch display device. The touch display circuit includes a touch circuit and a light-emitting element set. The touch circuit includes a first touch electrode and corresponding plurality of second touch electrodes. The first touch electrode receives an emitting signal. The plurality of second touch electrodes respectively generate a plurality of sensing signals. A first end of the light-emitting element set is directly coupled to the first touch electrode and receives the emitting signal as a first driving signal. A second end of the light-emitting element set receives a second driving signal. As such, the touch display circuit is able to drive the touch circuit and the light-emitting element set simultaneously to simplify the circuit design.

Claims (16)
