1. A drive control device which drives and controls a panel module having arrays of display elements and arrays of touch detection electrodes arranged therein comprising:

  • a display control part which selects a display line out of the display element arrays and provides a display signal to the selected display line to perform display control in a display drive term;

    a touch control part which performs touch detection control by use of the touch detection electrodes in a non-display drive term,wherein the display control part includes a control circuit operable to control first and second frame modes, and a clock pulse generator operable to produce a display line clock signal in synchronization with a cycle of switching the display line;

    wherein in the first frame mode, a non-display drive term and a display drive term are alternately created in a length of time between opposing blank terms of each display frame period multiple times, the touch control part accepts a direction for touch detection control in the non-display drive term, and the display control is performed in each display drive term;

    wherein in the second frame mode, a non-display drive term and a display drive term subsequent thereto are produced in a length of time between opposing blank terms of each display frame period, and the touch control part does not accept a direction for touch detection control in the non-display drive term, and the display control is performed in the display drive term;

    wherein the control circuit changes the display drive term and the non-display drive term subsequent thereto to start timing on an individual display frame period basis for every plurality of display frame periods in the case of continuing the first frame mode; and

    wherein the clock pulse generator outputs the display line clock signal of a first cycle in the first frame mode, and outputs the display line clock signal of a second cycle longer than the first cycle in the second frame mode.
