1. A display device, comprising:
- a display panel;
a plurality of pixels disposed on the display panel;
a plurality of first sensing units disposed on the display panel and generating first sensing signals in response to a touch exerted on the display panel; and
a sensing signal processor configured to process the first sensing signals and generate second sensing signals for a plurality of frames, the sensing signal processor determining whether a touch occurs based on the second sensing signals for the plurality of frames, and the sensing signal processor determines whether a touch begins based on differences in the second sensing signals between a first frame and at least one second frame previous to the first frame, and determines whether a touch ends in the first frame based on differences in the second sensing signals between the first frame and a third frame previous to the first frame and between the third frame and one or more fourth frames that occur between the third frame and the first frame.

21. A method of detecting a touch exerted on a display panel, the method comprising:
-
generating a plurality of pointwise sensor output signals in response to a touch exerted on the display panel; collecting the sensor output signals in rows and columns to generate a sensor data signal for each row and for each column corresponding to each frame of a plurality of frames; and determining whether a touch occurs based on the sensor data signals for the plurality of frames; and wherein the operation of determining whether a touch occurs comprises;
calculating a first difference data for a current frame equal to a maximum of subtractions of the sensor data signals for a first predetermined number of frames previous to the current frame from the sensor data signal for the current frame; and
comparing the first difference data with a first predetermined value, wherein it is determined that a touch begins when the first difference data is equal to or greater than the first predetermined value; andwherein the operation of determining whether a touch occurs further comprises;
calculating a second difference data for a current frame equal to a maximum of subtractions of the sensor data signals for the current frame and for a second predetermined number of frames previous to the current frame from the second sensing signal for another frame previous to the second predetermined number of previous frames; and
comparing the second difference data with a second predetermined value, wherein it is determined that a touch ends when the second difference data is equal to or greater than the second predetermined value.- View Dependent Claims (22)
