Abstract

A touch scanning method includes, in the absence of a touch, performing a coarse scanning on the touch screen, and in the presence of a touch, performing a fine scanning on a full detection-activated region containing a touch point while performing the coarse scanning on the remaining region other than the full detection-activated region. During coarse scanning, in first M frames of M+N successive frames, drive lines spaced apart from one another by at least one of the drive lines are driven, and sense lines spaced apart from one another by at least one of the sense lines are detected. In the succeeding N frames of the M+N frames, there is no activity in the drive and sense lines. During the fine scanning, each drive line and each sense line within the full detection-activated region is driven and detected, respectively.
