METHOD OF OPERATING A TOUCH PANEL, TOUCH PANEL AND DISPLAY DEVICE
First Claim
1. A method of operating a touch panel including a plurality of driving lines and a plurality of sensing lines, the method comprising:
- performing a first limited scan by activating only a first portion of the plurality of driving lines and only a first portion of the plurality of sensing lines, such that a first coarse position of a first touch by a user is detected; and
performing a first local scan by activating only driving lines and sensing lines adjacent to the detected first coarse position of the first touch, such that a first fine position of the first touch by the user is detected.

15. A touch panel, comprising:
-
a plurality of driving lines extending in a first direction; and a plurality of sensing lines extending in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction, wherein the touch panel is configured to activate only a portion of the plurality of driving lines and only a portion of the plurality of sensing lines to perform a first limited scan detecting a coarse position of a touch by a user by, and wherein the touch panel is configured to activate only driving and sensing lines adjacent to the coarse position of the touch to perform a first local scan detecting a fine position of the touch. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A display device, comprising:
-
a display panel configured to display an image; a display driver configured to drive the display panel; a touch panel including a plurality of sensing blocks configured to operate independently of each other, the touch panel being configured to sense a touch by a user; and a touch controller configured to drive the touch panel, wherein the touch controller is configured to control the touch panel, such that a portion of the plurality of sensing blocks is configured to perform a limited scan that detects a coarse position of a touch in each touch frame, and wherein the touch controller is configured to control the touch panel, such that one of the plurality of sensing blocks having sensed the touch performs a local scan that detects a fine position of the touch. - View Dependent Claims (23)

24. A method of operating a touch panel including a plurality of touch sensor cells arranged in a matrix form having a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns, the method comprising:
-
performing a first limited scan that detects a first coarse position of a first touch by a user by activating a portion of the plurality of touch sensor cells; and performing a first local scan that detects a first fine position of the first touch by activating touch sensor cells adjacent to the first coarse position of the first touch among the plurality of touch sensor cells. - View Dependent Claims (25)

26. A method of operating a touch panel including a plurality of driving lines and a plurality of sensing lines, the method comprising:
-
receiving information about a region receiving an input of a user from an external host; and performing a local scan that detects a position of a touch by the user by activating a portion of the plurality of driving lines and a portion of the plurality of sensing lines corresponding to the region receiving the input based on the information about the region receiving the input. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28)
