Liquid crystal display device and drive method therefor
First Claim
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising:
- a liquid crystal panel configured to display an image supplied from outside;
a timing generator configured or programmed to drive the liquid crystal panel in accordance with a driving signal;
a capacitive touch sensor configured to detect a change in capacitance, the capacitive touch panel being provided so as to overlap the liquid crystal panel;
a touch panel controller configured or programmed to scan the capacitive touch sensor in accordance with a reference clock signal which is generated by an oscillation circuit provided in the liquid crystal display device;
a frequency counter configured or programmed to count a frequency of the driving signal;
a correcting circuit configured or programmed to determine whether or not the frequency of the driving signal is a predetermined value; and
the correcting circuit configured or programmed to change, in a case where the correcting circuit determines that the frequency of the driving signal is not the predetermined value, a frequency at which the capacitive touch sensor is scanned.

Abstract
A liquid crystal display devices (1a, 1b) each include a touch panel (2), a liquid crystal panel (3), a touch panel controller (4), a liquid crystal driving controller (timing generator) (5), oscillation circuits (7a, 7b), a correcting circuit (10), and a frequency counter (11). The frequency counter (11) counts a reference clock signal CLK supplied from the oscillation circuit (7a) or (7b). The correcting circuit (10) determines, in accordance with information supplied from the frequency counter (11), whether or not a frequency of the reference clock signal CLK is a predetermined frequency. In a case where the frequency of the reference clock signal CLK is not the predetermined frequency, the correcting circuit (10) corrects (i) a frequency at which the liquid crystal panel (3) is driven or (ii) a frequency at which sensing of the touch panel (2) is carried out.
