Touch panel and apparatus for driving thereof
First Claim
1. A method of operating a touch panel including first electrodes and second electrodes separated from and intersecting the first electrodes, the second electrodes including touch sensing electrodes and adjacent electrodes adjacent to the touch sensing electrodes, the method comprising:
- applying a touch driving pulse to the first electrodes during a touch force sensing mode to determine a force of a touch on the touch panel and a touch point sensing mode to determine a location of the touch on the touch panel;
sensing a first touch sense signal responsive to the touch driving pulse in the touch force sensing mode through the touch sensing electrodes and the adjacent electrodes; and
sensing a second touch sense signal responsive to the touch driving pulse in the touch point sensing mode through the touch sensing electrodes except the adjacent electrodes,wherein the adjacent electrodes are not used to sense the second touch sense signal during a first time period, at which the touch point sensing mode is performed, but only used to sense the first touch sense signal responsive to the touch driving pulse during a second time period, at which the touch force sensing mode is performed.

Abstract
Embodiments relate to a touch panel and a method of operating the touch panel. The touch panel includes first electrodes and second electrodes separated from and intersecting the first electrodes. The first electrodes are applied with a touch driving pulse during a first sensing mode and a second sensing mode. The second electrodes sense a first touch sense signal responsive to the touch driving pulse in the first sensing mode. A subset of the second electrodes senses a second touch sense signal responsive to the touch driving pulse in the second sensing mode.
