Embodiments of the present invention relate to a touch panel scanning method and a touch integrated circuit for performing the same. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method of scanning a touch panel to detect a touch signal or a gesture by a user, and a touch integrated circuit for performing the method.
The touch panel can be used as an input device of a smart device including a display panel and an application processor. The touch panel may be classified into a resistive type, a capacitive type, and an electro magnetic type.
For example, a touch panel of a mutual capacitance type can detect a touch position by measuring a mutual capacitance which varies due to a touch of a conductor between a driving line and a sensing line.
The mutual capacitance type touch panel may include a plurality of driving lines and a plurality of sensing lines intersecting the driving lines. When driving signals are sequentially supplied to the driving lines, a mutual capacitance generated by providing the driving signals from the sensing lines may be detected. The driving lines and the sensing lines may be connected to a touch integrated circuit, and the touch integrated circuit may provide the driving signals and acquire touch signals from the sensing lines.
The touch integrated circuit may sequentially provide driving signals to the driving lines and may sequentially detect sensing signals corresponding to the driving lines from the sensing lines. However, when the touch panel is operated in the full scan mode, the power consumption of the touch panel can be increased.
Embodiments of the present invention for solving the above problems provide a touch panel scanning method capable of reducing power consumption of a touch panel and a touch integrated circuit suitable for performing the touch panel scanning method.

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a touch integrated circuit including: a touch driver for providing driving signals to driving lines of a touch panel; a signal processor for sensing signals from sensing lines of the touch panel; And a controller for controlling operations of the touch driver and the signal processor. Here, the touch driver sequentially provides driving signals to at least a part of the driving lines, and the signal processing unit sequentially detects sensing signals corresponding to the at least some driving lines from at least a part of the sensing lines So that the first scan data can be obtained.
According to embodiments of the present invention, the first scan data may be obtained from odd-numbered sensing lines of the touch panel. In this case, after the first scan data is acquired, the touch driver sequentially provides driving signals to the at least some driving lines, and the signal processing unit may receive the driving signals from the even- The second scan data can be obtained by sequentially sensing the sensing signals corresponding to the driving lines.
According to embodiments of the present invention, the driving signals may be provided to odd-numbered driving lines of the touch panel, and the first scan data may be obtained from odd-numbered sensing lines of the touch panel.

Alternatively, a part of the touch panel may be used as a touch area, so that the number of driving signals and / or the number of sensing signals used to obtain scan data constituting each frame may be reduced. As a result, the power consumption of the touch panel can be greatly reduced as compared with the case where the touch panel is operated in the full scan mode.
