1. A touch screen driver, comprising:
- a touch screen including;
transmission (Tx) lines,reception (Rx) lines crossing the Tx lines, andtouch sensors between the Tx lines and the Rx lines;
a Tx driving circuit configured to sequentially supply a pair of out-of-phase driving signals including a first driving signal and a second driving signal, which has a phase difference of 180°
with respect to the first driving signal, to the Tx lines, the first driving signal and the second driving signal being simultaneously respectively supplied to only a first and a second Tx line adjacent to each other, the first driving signal and the second driving signal subsequently being simultaneously respectively supplied to only the second and a third Tx line, the third Tx line being different from the first Tx line, the first driving signal and the second driving signal having a same frequency; and
an Rx driving circuit configured to;
sample a charge of the touch sensor received through the Rx lines coupled with the Tx lines;
convert the sampled charge into digital data;
output initial digital data obtained as an initial scanning result of the touch screen; and
output digital data obtained as a scanning result of the touch screen as normal data when a touch input of the touch screen is generated.

Abstract
A touch screen driver and method for driving the same are disclosed. The touch screen driver includes a Tx driving circuit which sequentially supplies a pair of out-of-phase composed of a first driving signal and a second driving signal which has a phase difference of 180° with respect to the first driving signal and the second driving signal driving signals to Tx lines, wherein the first signal and the second signal are simultaneously supplied to the adjacent Tx lines, respectively; and an Rx driving circuit which samples a charge of the touch sensor received through the Rx lines coupled with the Tx lines and converts the sampled charge into digital data.
