1. A display device with an integrated touch screen, comprising:
- a panel including electrodes divided into n number of groups, wherein n is an integer more than or equal to two;
a display driver IC configured to;
apply a common voltage of a first level to the n divided groups, when a driving mode of the panel is a display driving mode, andsequentially select at least one of the n divided groups and apply a touch scan signal to the at least one selected group, while applying the common voltage of the first level to unselected n divided groups, when the driving mode of the panel is a touch driving mode; and
a touch IC configured to generate the touch scan signal to apply the touch scan signal to the display driver IC,wherein the display driver IC includes a switching unit configured to apply the touch scan signal from the touch IC to the at least one selected group, while applying the common voltage of the first level to the unselected n divided groups, during the touch driving mode.

Abstract
A display device with an integrated touch screen including a panel including electrodes divided into n number of groups, where n is an integer more than or equal to two; a display driver IC configured to apply a common voltage to the n divided groups when a driving mode of the panel is a display driving mode, and to selectively apply a touch scan signal or the common voltage to the n divided groups when the driving mode of the panel is a touch driving mode; and a touch IC configured to generate the touch scan signal to apply the touch scan signal to the display driver IC.

1. A display device with an integrated touch screen, comprising:
-
a panel including electrodes divided into n number of groups, wherein n is an integer more than or equal to two; a display driver IC configured to; apply a common voltage of a first level to the n divided groups, when a driving mode of the panel is a display driving mode, and sequentially select at least one of the n divided groups and apply a touch scan signal to the at least one selected group, while applying the common voltage of the first level to unselected n divided groups, when the driving mode of the panel is a touch driving mode; and a touch IC configured to generate the touch scan signal to apply the touch scan signal to the display driver IC, wherein the display driver IC includes a switching unit configured to apply the touch scan signal from the touch IC to the at least one selected group, while applying the common voltage of the first level to the unselected n divided groups, during the touch driving mode. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)

9. A method of controlling a display device with an integrated touch screen, a panel of the display device including electrodes divided into n number of groups, wherein n is an integer more than or equal to two, the method comprising:
-
applying, via a display driver IC of the display device, a common voltage of a first level to the n divided groups, when a driving mode of the panel is a display driving mode; sequentially selecting at least one of the n divided groups and applying, via the display driver IC, a touch scan signal to the at least one selected group, while applying the common voltage of the first level to unselected n divided groups, when the driving mode of the panel is a touch driving mode; and generating, via a touch IC of the display device, the touch scan signal to apply the touch scan signal to the display driver IC, wherein the touch scan signal is applied from the touch IC, via a switching unit included in the display driver IC, to the at least one selected group, while the common voltage of the first level is applied, via the switching unit, to the unselected n divided groups, during the touch driving mode. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
