SENSING CIRCUIT, DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD OF OPERATING A SENSING CIRCUIT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240177671 titled 'SENSING CIRCUIT, DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD OF OPERATING A SENSING CIRCUIT

Simplified Explanation

The sensing circuit of a display device includes a sensing line initialization circuit that initializes two sensing lines in different sub-sensing periods, a line selection switch for each sensing line, and a sensing channel that samples the sensing voltages of each line in their respective sub-sensing periods.

Original Abstract Submitted

a sensing circuit of a display device includes a sensing line initialization circuit which substantially simultaneously initializes a first sensing line and a second sensing line in a first sub-sensing period of a sensing period, a first line selection switch which couples the first sensing line to a sensing channel in the first sub-sensing period, a second line selection switch which couples the second sensing line to the sensing channel in a second sub-sensing period of the sensing period, and the sensing channel which samples a first sensing voltage of the first sensing line in a first sampling period of the first sub-sensing period, and samples a second sensing voltage of the second sensing line in a second sampling period of the second sub-sensing period. the second sensing line is not initialized during a period from the first sampling period to the second sampling period.
