Abstract

The touch panel controller activates a touch panel having a detection plane superposed on a display plane of a display device, and performs a touch detection. The touch panel controller uses a cycle of 1/n (n is a positive integer) of a display frame cycle on the display plane as the detection frame cycle of the detection plane. The touch panel controller decides an order of driving the detection-scan electrodes in each detection frame cycle according to predetermined phase-delay and phase-advance positions with respect to a display-scan electrode drive position of the display device so as to correspond to an order of the detection-scan electrode array of the touch panel. The touch panel controller makes possible to avoid the coincidence of display-scan and touch-detection positions without thinning touch detections even with the detection frame cycle of a touch sensor shorter than the display frame cycle of a liquid crystal panel.
