Abstract

Provided is a driving circuit included in a touch display device, which is capable of performing display driving, touch sensing, and additional sensing in addition to the touch sensing. The driving circuit includes a common electrode driving controller, a pixel electrode driving controller, and a sending unit. The common electrode driving controller is configured to apply a common voltage to a common electrode during a display-driving period. The pixel electrode driving controller is configured to apply a data voltage to a pixel electrode during the display-driving period. The sensing unit is connected to the common electrode driving controller during a first sensing period and to the pixel electrode driving controller during a second sensing period. The sensing unit is configured to sense a change in capacitance between the common electrode or pixel electrode and an object that is in contact with the display panel.
