1. A gate driver comprising:
- a shift register configured to sequentially supply gate pulses to gate lines of a display panel, the shift register including;
an (N−
1)th stage, where N is a positive integer equal to or greater than 2, configured to output an (N−
1)th gate pulse;
an Nth stage configured to output an Nth gate pulse; and
a hold circuit configured to hold an output voltage of the (N−
1)th stage during a predetermined time and supply the output voltage to the Nth stage.

Abstract
A gate driver and a display device having an in-cell touch sensor using the gate driver are disclosed. The gate driver includes a shift register configured to sequentially supply gate pulses to gate lines of a display panel. The shift register includes an (N−1)th stage, where N is a positive integer equal to or greater than 2, configured to output an (N−1)th gate pulse, an Nth stage configured to output an Nth gate pulse, and a hold circuit configured to hold an output voltage of the (N−1)th stage during a predetermined time and supply the output voltage to the Nth stage.

8. A display device comprising:
-
a display panel in which data lines and gate lines are arranged in intersecting directions, pixels are arranged in a matrix form, a screen including the pixels and touch sensors is divided into at least first and second blocks, and the first and second blocks are time-divisionally driven during first and second display periods, respectively, with a touch sensing period between the first and second display periods; a display driver configured to drive pixels of the first block during the first display period, drive pixels of the second block during the second display period after the touch sensing period, and write data of an input image to the pixels of the first and second blocks; and a touch sensing unit configured to sense a touch input by driving the touch sensors during the touch sensing period, wherein the display driver includes a shift register configured to sequentially supply gate pulses to the gate lines, the shift register including; an (N−
1)th stage, where N is a positive integer equal to or greater than 2, configured to output a last gate pulse of the first display period;an Nth stage configured to output a first gate pulse of the second display period at a time corresponding to a start of the second display period after the touch sensing period; and a hold circuit configured to hold an output voltage of the (N−
1)th stage during the touch sensing period and supply the output voltage to the Nth stage. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)
