DISPLAY DEVICE INCLUDING TOUCH PANEL AND METHOD OF DRIVING DISPLAY DEVICE INCLUDING TOUCH PANEL - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17962669 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE INCLUDING TOUCH PANEL AND METHOD OF DRIVING DISPLAY DEVICE INCLUDING TOUCH PANEL

Simplified Explanation

Abstract

A display device has a display panel, a touch panel, a proximity sensor, a display driver, and a touch controller. The touch controller provides a negative voltage to the proximity sensor when an object approaches it within a certain distance.

Patent/Innovation Explanation

  • Display device with a display panel, touch panel, proximity sensor, display driver, and touch controller
  • Touch controller provides a negative voltage to the proximity sensor when an object is within a certain distance
  • Proximity sensor detects object proximity based on capacitance variation
  • Display driver drives the display panel
  • Touch controller drives the touch panel and proximity sensor

Potential Applications

  • Mobile devices with touchscreens
  • Automotive infotainment systems
  • Gaming consoles and controllers
  • Interactive kiosks and displays
  • Virtual and augmented reality devices

Problems Solved

  • Accurate detection of object proximity to the display device
  • Preventing unintended touch inputs when objects are close to the device
  • Enhancing user experience by providing more precise touch and proximity sensing

Benefits

  • Improved touch and proximity sensing capabilities
  • Reduced accidental touch inputs
  • Enhanced user interaction with the display device
  • Increased accuracy in detecting object proximity.


Original Abstract Submitted

A display device includes a display panel including pixels, a touch panel including electrodes, a proximity sensor which is adjacent to the touch panel and detects proximity with respect to an object based on a capacitance variation, a display driver which drives the display panel and a touch controller which drives the touch panel and the proximity sensor. Here, the touch controller provides a negative voltage to the proximity sensor when the proximity sensor detects that the object approaches the proximity sensor such that a shortest distance from the object to the proximity sensor is equal to or less than a first reference distance.
