Abstract

Provided is a driving circuit of a photosensing touch panel including: a first photodiode coupled between a first voltage source and a sensing node and for generating a first current in accordance with a brightness of an external incident light and a heat of a finger; a second photodiode coupled between the sensing node and a second voltage source and for generating a second current in accordance with the heat of the finger, the second photodiode being shielded from the external incident light; and an amplifier circuit for detecting the brightness of the external incident light regardless of the heat of the finger by subtracting the second current from the first current at the sensing node.
