Abstract

A touch sensing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a display device including a plurality of pixels and displaying an image; a touch screen including a plurality of touch sensors and being included in the display device; display panel driving circuits for driving the display device; a touch sensing circuit for applying a driving signal to the touch sensors to sense a voltage or capacitance variation in the touch sensors; a controller for time-dividing a first frame period into a first driving period for displaying an image on the display device and a second driving period for sensing the touch sensors; and a reset control circuit for controlling operations of the display panel driving circuits with a reset enable signal to initialize the pixels of the display device to an equivalent reset voltage at predetermined intervals between the first driving period and the second driving period.
