Touch sensitive display device, and driving method thereof
First Claim
1. A driving method of a display device, comprising:
- reading sense data signals of a first sensing unit row, the sense data signals being sequentially input;
determining for each sense data signal whether the sense data signal is included in a contactable range;
converting each sense data signals into a preliminary signal, each preliminary signal having a predetermined value based on whether the sense data signal is included in the contactable range;
determining whether the first sensing unit row includes an X axis sensed area using the preliminary signals;
determining whether the X axis sensed area is in an effective contact region when the X axis sensed area is present;
determining whether a Y axis sensed area is present when the X axis sensed area is in the effective contact region;
determining whether the Y axis sensed area is in the effective contact region when the Y axis sensed area is present;
determining a contact position when the X axis sensed area is in the effective contact region; and
reading sense data signals of a second sensing unit row after the determining of the contact position for the first sensing unit row is finished.

Abstract
A display device having a contact sensing function, and a driving method thereof are disclosed in one embodiment. The driving method of a display device includes reading sense data signals of a current sensing unit row, determining whether the sense data signals are included in a contactable range and converting the sense data signals into preliminary signals that each have a predetermined value based on the determination result, determining whether a sensed area (an X axis sensed area) in an X axis direction exists using the preliminary signals, determining whether the X axis sensed area is effective when the X axis sensed area exists, determining whether a sensed area (a Y axis sensed area) in a Y axis direction exists when the X axis sensed area is effective, determining whether the Y axis sensed area is effective when the Y axis sensed area exists, determining a contact position when the Y axis sensed area is effective, and reading sense data signals of a next sensing unit row when the X axis sensed area or the Y axis sensed area is not effective.
