[0048] It should be noted that in the description of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the symbol GPIO can represent both a control signal terminal and a control signal provided by the control signal terminal.

[0049] In an in-cell touchscreen display, the source driver circuit is powered by the display power supply. When the display panel is not operating, the display power supply is disconnected. For example, when the display panel is not displaying an image, the display power supply may temporarily disconnect. Consequently, the source driver circuit cannot function properly without receiving a power signal, causing the touch panel to also not function properly.
[0050] In response to the above problems, the present disclosure provides a driving circuit for driving a source driving circuit, including: a power switching sub-circuit, the power switching sub-circuit being electrically connected to a touch power supply terminal and a display power supply terminal, respectively, and the power switching sub-circuit being configured to output a touch power signal from the touch power supply terminal or a display power signal from the display power supply terminal based on the signal output status of the touch power supply terminal and the display power supply terminal; and a power control sub-circuit, the power control sub-circuit being electrically connected to the power switching sub-circuit and the source driving circuit, respectively, and the power control sub-circuit being configured to output a source power signal to the source driving circuit under the drive of the touch power signal or the display power signal.
[0051] FIG1 is a schematic structural diagram of a driving circuit according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0052] As shown in FIG. 1 , in embodiment 100 , a driving circuit 110 is electrically connected to a source driving circuit 120 , and the driving circuit 110 supplies power to the source driving circuit 120 so that the source driving circuit 120 can operate normally.
[0053] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the driving circuit 110 includes a power switching sub-circuit 111 and a power control sub-circuit 112 .
[0054] In the disclosed embodiment, the power switching subcircuit 111 is electrically connected to a touch power terminal, Touch Power, and a display power terminal, Display Power. The touch power terminal, Touch Power, is configured to provide a touch power signal, Touch Power. This touch power signal can power the touch panel in the touch display, allowing the touch panel to start up properly. The display power terminal, Display Power, is configured to provide a display power signal, Display Power. This display power signal can power the display panel in the touch display, allowing the display panel to start up properly.
[0055] The power switching sub-circuit 111 outputs a touch power signal Touch Power or a display power signal Display Power based on the signal output states of the touch power terminal Touch Power and the display power terminal Display Power.
[0056] For example, the power switching sub-circuit 111 selects one of the touch power signal Touch Power and the display power signal Display Power according to the signals outputted by the touch power terminal Touch Power and the display power terminal Display Power, and outputs the selected signal to the power control sub-circuit 112 .
[0057] For example, the power switching sub-circuit 111 may output the display power signal Display Power to the power control sub-circuit 112 by default, or may switch the output power signal from the display power signal Display Power to the touch power signal Touch Power.
[0058] For example, when the touch power terminal Touch Power provides the touch power signal Touch Power, the power switching sub-circuit 111 can receive the touch power signal Touch Power, and it can be considered that the touch power terminal Touch Power is in a power supply state at this time. When the touch power terminal Touch Power does not provide the touch power signal Touch Power, the power switching sub-circuit 111 does not receive the touch power signal Touch Power, and it can be considered that the touch power terminal Touch Power is in a power-off state at this time.
[0059] Similarly, when the display power terminal Display Power provides the display power signal Display Power, the power switching sub-circuit 111 can receive the display power signal Display Power, and it can be considered that the display power terminal Display Power is in a power supply state. When the display power terminal Display Power does not provide the display power signal Display Power, the power switching sub-circuit 111 cannot receive the display power signal Display Power, and it can be considered that the display power terminal Display Power is in a power-off state.
[0060] The power switching sub-circuit 111 selects one of the touch power signal Touch Power and the display power signal Display Power and outputs it to the power control sub-circuit 112 according to the power supply status or power-off status of the touch power terminal Touch Power and the display power terminal Display Power.
[0061] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the power control sub-circuit 112 is electrically connected to the power switching sub-circuit 111 and the source driver circuit 120. For example, the power control sub-circuit 112 may be a power management integrated circuit (PMIC).
[0062] Driven by the touch power signal Touch Power or the display power signal Display Power, a source power signal is output to the source driver circuit 120. The source power signal is a power signal for starting the source driver circuit 120 and is used to power the source driver circuit 120.
[0063] For example, when the power switching sub-circuit 111 outputs the touch power signal Touch Power, the power control sub-circuit 112 may convert the touch power signal Touch Power into a source power signal. When the power switching sub-circuit 111 outputs the display power terminal Display Power, the power control sub-circuit 112 may convert the display power terminal Display Power into a source power signal.
[0064] In the disclosed embodiment, the source driver circuit 120 participates in the operation of the display panel. For example, the source driver circuit 120 outputs data signals to the display panel, causing the display panel to display data. The source driver circuit 120 also participates in the operation of the touch panel. For example, the source driver circuit 120 receives sensor signals from the touch panel to determine the touch operation received by the touch panel. Therefore, when the source driver circuit 120 is in an unpowered state, the source driver circuit 120 cannot operate normally, causing both the display panel and the touch panel to malfunction.
[0065] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the display power terminal Display Power is supplying power, the power switching subcircuit 111 outputs the display power signal Display Power to the power control subcircuit 112. When the display power terminal Display Power is powered off, the power switching subcircuit 111 switches to outputting the touch power signal Touch Power to the power control subcircuit 112. This ensures that the power control subcircuit 112 is always powered, thereby ensuring that the source driver circuit 120 is also always powered.
[0066] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the power switching sub-circuit 111 outputs the display power signal Display Power when it determines that both the touch power signal Touch Power and the display power signal Display Power are received. Alternatively, the power switching sub-circuit 111 outputs the touch power signal Touch Power when it determines that only the touch power signal Touch Power is received. Alternatively, the power switching sub-circuit 111 outputs the display power signal Display Power when it determines that only the display power signal Display Power is received.
[0067] For example, when both the touch power terminal Touch Power and the display power terminal Display Power are in the power supply state, the power switching sub-circuit 111 may receive the touch power signal Touch Power and the display power signal Display Power. At this time, the power switching sub-circuit 111 outputs the display power signal Display Power to the power control sub-circuit 112.
[0068] For example, when the touch power terminal Touch Power is in the power supply state and the display power terminal Display Power is in the power-off state, the power switching sub-circuit 111 only receives the touch power signal Touch Power and outputs the touch power signal Touch Power to the power control sub-circuit 112.
[0069] For example, when the touch power terminal Touch Power is in a power-off state and the display power terminal Display Power is in a power-on state, the power switching sub-circuit 111 only receives the display power signal Display Power and outputs the display power signal Display Power to the power control sub-circuit 112 .
[0070] For example, the power control subcircuit 112 is powered by the display power signal Display Power by default. When the display panel does not display an image, the display power terminal Display Power will be in a non-powered state. Therefore, through the drive circuit 110 provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, by designing the power switching subcircuit 111, the touch power terminal Touch Power and the display power terminal Display Power are simultaneously connected to the power switching subcircuit 111. When the display power terminal Display Power is not powered or accidentally loses power, the touch power terminal Touch Power can be used to supply power, ensuring the normal operation of the power control subcircuit 112 and the source driver circuit 120, and thus ensuring the normal touch function of the touch panel.
[0071] FIG2 is a schematic structural diagram of a driving circuit according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0072] As shown in FIG. 2 , the driving circuit 210 includes a power switching sub-circuit 211 and a power control sub-circuit 212 .
[0073] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the power switching subcircuit 211 and the power control subcircuit 212 are similar to the power switching subcircuit 111 and the power control subcircuit 112 mentioned above, respectively. For the sake of simplicity, the same parts are not repeated here.
[0074] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the power switching sub-circuit 211 includes a display driving unit 2111 and a touch driving unit 2112 .
[0075] In the disclosed embodiment, the display driver unit 2111 is electrically connected to the display power terminal Display Power, the power control sub-circuit 212, and the control signal terminal GPIO. Under the control of the control signal GPIO from the control signal terminal GPIO, the display driver unit 2111 outputs the display power signal Display Power to the power control sub-circuit 212.
[0076] For example, the display power terminal Display Power provides a display power signal Display Power to the display driver unit 2111. The control signal GPIO can control the display driver unit 2111 to be in an on state or an off state. When the control signal GPIO controls the display driver unit 2111 to be in an on state, the display driver unit 2111 can output the display power signal Display Power to the power control sub-circuit 212.
[0077] In the disclosed embodiment, the touch driver unit 2112 is electrically connected to the touch power terminal Touch Power, the power control sub-circuit 212, and the control signal terminal GPIO. Under the control of the control signal GPIO from the control signal terminal GPIO, the touch driver unit 2112 outputs the touch power signal Touch Power to the power control sub-circuit 212.
[0078] For example, the touch power terminal Touch Power provides a touch power signal Touch Power to the touch driver unit 2112. The control signal GPIO can control the touch driver unit 2112 to be in an on state or an off state. When the control signal GPIO controls the touch driver unit 2112 to be in an on state, the touch driver unit 2112 can output the touch power signal Touch Power to the power control sub-circuit 212.
[0079] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when both the touch power terminal Touch Power and the display power terminal Display Power are in a power supply state, the touch driver unit 2112 can receive the touch power signal Touch Power, and the display driver unit 2111 can receive the display power signal Display Power. At this time, the control signal GPIO can control the display driver unit 2111 to be in an on state and control the touch driver unit 2112 to be in an off state. In this case, the display driver unit 2111 can output the display power signal Display Power to the power control sub-circuit 212.
[0080] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the touch power terminal Touch Power is in the power-on state and the display power terminal Display Power is in the power-off state, only the touch driver unit 2112 can receive the touch power signal Touch Power, and the display driver unit 2111 cannot receive the display power signal Display Power. In this case, the control signal GPIO can control the display driver unit 2111 to be in the off state and control the touch driver unit 2112 to be in the on state. In this case, the touch driver unit 2112 can output the touch power signal Touch Power to the power control sub-circuit 212.
[0081] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the touch power terminal Touch Power is in a power-off state and the display power terminal Display Power is in a power-on state, only the display driver unit 2111 can receive the display power signal Display Power, and the touch driver unit 2112 cannot receive the touch power signal Touch Power. In this case, the control signal GPIO can control the display driver unit 2111 to be in an on state and control the touch driver unit 2112 to be in an off state. In this case, the display driver unit 2111 can output the display power signal Display Power to the power control sub-circuit 212.

Under the control of the low level of the control signal GPIO, the first transistor M1 is in the on state, and the second transistor M2 is in the off state. When the touch power supply terminal Touch Power is in the power supply state, the touch power signal Touch Power is applied to the gate of the third transistor M3, the gate of the fourth transistor M4, and the drain of the fourth transistor M4. The gate voltage of the third transistor M3 and the gate voltage of the fourth transistor M4 gradually increase. Since the third transistor M3 and the fourth transistor M4 are PMOS tubes, the third transistor M3 and the fourth transistor M4 are in the off state.
[0093] In this case, the second transistor M2, the third transistor M3, and the fourth transistor in the touch driving unit 3112 are all in the off state, and the first transistor M1 in the display driving unit 3111 is in the on state. Therefore, when the display power terminal Display Power and the touch power terminal Touch Power are both in the power supply state, the display power signal Display Power is output to the power control sub-circuit 312 through the first transistor M1.
[0094] In the disclosed embodiment, when the display power supply terminal Display Power is in a power-off state, the level of the control signal GPIO is high. The first transistor M1 is a PMOS transistor, and the second transistor M2 is an NMOS transistor. Under the control of the high level of the control signal GPIO, the first transistor M1 is in an off state, and the second transistor M2 is in an on state. When the second transistor M2 is in an on state, due to the action of the resistor R, the voltage GND is applied to the gate of the third transistor M3 and the gate of the fourth transistor M4 through the second transistor M2. Since the third transistor M3 and the fourth transistor M4 are PMOS transistors, under the control of the low level voltage GND, the third transistor M3 and the fourth transistor M4 are in an on state.
[0095] In this case, the second transistor M2, the third transistor M3, and the fourth transistor in the touch driving unit 3112 are all in the on state, and the first transistor M1 in the display driving unit 3111 is in the off state. Therefore, when the display power terminal Display Power is in the power-off state and the touch power terminal Touch Power is in the power-on state, the touch power signal Touch Power is output to the power control sub-circuit 312 through the third transistor M3 and the fourth transistor M4.
[0096] In the disclosed embodiment, when the display power terminal Display Power is in the power-on state, the control signal GPIO is at a low level. The first transistor M1 is a PMOS transistor, and the second transistor M2 is an NMOS transistor. Under the control of the low level of the control signal GPIO, the first transistor M1 is in the on state, and the second transistor M2 is in the off state. When the touch power terminal Touch Power is in the power-off state, the third transistor M3 and the fourth transistor M4 are in the off state.
[0097] In this case, the second transistor M2, the third transistor M3, and the fourth transistor in the touch driving unit 3112 are all in the off state, and the first transistor M1 in the display driving unit 3111 is in the on state. Therefore, when the display power terminal Display Power is in the power supply state and the touch power terminal Touch Power is in the power-off state, the display power signal Display Power is output to the power control sub-circuit 312 through the first transistor M1.
[0098] According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the display power terminal Display Power is supplying power, the first transistor M1 is in an on state, the second transistor M2, the third transistor M3, and the fourth transistor are all in an off state, and the display power signal Display Power is output to the power control subcircuit 312 via the first transistor M1. When the display power terminal Display Power is powered off, the first transistor M1 is in an off state, the second transistor M2, the third transistor M3, and the fourth transistor are all in an on state, and the touch power terminal Touch Power outputs the touch power signal Touch Power to the power control subcircuit 312 via the third transistor M3 and the fourth transistor. Therefore, the connection structure of the transistors in the power switching subcircuit 311 enables switching output of the power signal. Furthermore, transistors have the advantages of easy control, low voltage drop, and fast response speed. The power switching subcircuit 311 can reduce the voltage drop of the power signal output to the power control subcircuit 312, thereby stabilizing the voltage of the power signal output to the power control subcircuit 312.
[0099] FIG4 is a schematic structural diagram of a driving circuit according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.

Under the control of the control signal GPIO, the touch power signal Touch Power, and the display power signal Display Power, the touch driver unit 4112 outputs the touch power signal Touch Power to the power control sub-circuit 412.
[0103] For example, the touch power terminal Touch Power provides a touch power signal Touch Power to the touch driver unit 4112. The control signal GPIO and the display power signal Display Power can control the touch driver unit 4112 to be in an on state or an off state. When the control signal GPIO and the display power signal Display Power control the touch driver unit 4112 to be in an on state, the touch driver unit 4112 can output the touch power signal Touch Power to the power control sub-circuit 412.
[0104] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when both the touch power terminal Touch Power and the display power terminal Display Power are in a power supply state, the touch driver unit 4112 can receive the touch power signal Touch Power, and the display driver unit 4111 can receive the display power signal Display Power. At this time, the control signal GPIO can control the display driver unit 4111 to be in an on state, while the control signal GPIO and the display power signal Display Power can control the touch driver unit 4112 to be in an off state. In this case, the display driver unit 4111 can output the display power signal Display Power to the power control sub-circuit 412.
[0105] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the touch power terminal Touch Power is in the power-on state and the display power terminal Display Power is in the power-off state, only the touch driver unit 4112 can receive the touch power signal Touch Power, and the display driver unit 4111 cannot receive the display power signal Display Power. In this case, the control signal GPIO can control the display driver unit 4111 to be in the off state, and the control signal GPIO and the display power signal Display Power can control the touch driver unit 4112 to be in the on state. In this case, the touch driver unit 4112 can output the touch power signal Touch Power to the power control sub-circuit 412.
[0106] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the touch power terminal Touch Power is in a power-off state and the display power terminal Display Power is in a power-on state, only the display driver unit 4111 can receive the display power signal Display Power, and the touch driver unit 4112 cannot receive the touch power signal Touch Power. In this case, the control signal GPIO can control the display driver unit 4111 to be in a conductive state, and the control signal GPIO and the display power signal Display Power can control the touch driver unit 4112 to be in a disconnected state. In this case, the display driver unit 4111 can output the display power signal Display Power to the power control sub-circuit 412.

The voltage terminal GND can be a ground terminal, and the voltage of the voltage terminal GND can be 0V. The resistor R can divide the touch power signal Touch Power provided by the touch power terminal Touch Power to prevent a short circuit when the second transistor M2 is turned on.
[0115] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the driving circuit 510 further includes a capacitor C. A first end of the capacitor C is electrically connected to the power control subcircuit 512, and a second end of the capacitor C is electrically connected to the voltage terminal GND. The capacitor C can stabilize the power signal input to the power control subcircuit 512.
[0116] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the voltage of the control signal GPIO provided by the control signal terminal GPIO is related to the power supply state of the display power terminal Display Power.
[0117] In the disclosed embodiment, when the display power supply terminal Display Power is in the power supply state, the control signal GPIO is at a low level. The first transistor M1 is a PMOS transistor, and the second transistor M2 is an NMOS transistor. Under the control of the low level of the control signal GPIO, the first transistor M1 is in the on state, and the second transistor M2 is in the off state. The display power supply signal Display Power is also applied to the gate of the third transistor M3, and the gate voltage of the third transistor M3 gradually increases. Since the third transistor M3 is a PMOS transistor, the third transistor M3 is in the off state.
[0118] In this case, the second transistor M2 and the third transistor M3 in the touch driving unit 5112 are both in the off state, and the first transistor M1 in the display driving unit 5111 is in the on state. Therefore, when the display power terminal Display Power and the touch power terminal Touch Power are both in the power supply state, the display power signal Display Power is output to the power control sub-circuit 512 through the first transistor M1.
[0119] In the disclosed embodiment, when the display power supply terminal Display Power is in a power-off state, the level of the control signal GPIO is high. The first transistor M1 is a PMOS transistor, and the second transistor M2 is an NMOS transistor. Under the control of the high level of the control signal GPIO, the first transistor M1 is in an off state, and the second transistor M2 is in an on state. When the second transistor M2 is in an on state, due to the action of the resistor R, the voltage GND is applied to the gate of the third transistor M3 through the second transistor M2. Since the third transistor M3 is a PMOS transistor, under the control of the low level voltage GND, the third transistor M3 is in an on state.
[0120] In this case, the second transistor M2 and the third transistor M3 in the touch driving unit 5112 are both in the on state, and the first transistor M1 in the display driving unit 5111 is in the off state. Therefore, when the display power terminal Display Power is in the power-off state and the touch power terminal Touch Power is in the power-on state, the touch power signal Touch Power is output to the power control sub-circuit 512 through the third transistor M3.
[0121] In the disclosed embodiment, when the display power supply terminal Display Power is in the power supply state, the control signal GPIO is at a low level. The first transistor M1 is a PMOS transistor, and the second transistor M2 is an NMOS transistor. Under the control of the low level of the control signal GPIO, the first transistor M1 is in the on state, and the second transistor M2 is in the off state. The display power supply signal Display Power is also applied to the gate of the third transistor M3, and the gate voltage of the third transistor M3 gradually increases. Since the third transistor M3 is a PMOS transistor, the third transistor M3 is in the off state.
[0122] In this case, the second transistor M2 and the third transistor M3 in the touch driving unit 5112 are both in the off state, and the first transistor M1 in the display driving unit 5111 is in the on state. Therefore, when the display power terminal Display Power is in the power supply state and the touch power terminal Touch Power is in the power-off state, the display power signal Display Power is output to the power control sub-circuit 512 through the first transistor M1.

For the sake of simplicity, the same parts will not be repeated here in this disclosure.
[0127] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the display driving unit 6111 includes a first transistor M1. The first transistor M1 is a PMOS transistor.
[0128] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the gate of the first transistor M1 is electrically connected to the control signal terminal GPIO, the drain of the first transistor M1 is electrically connected to the display power terminal Display Power, and the source of the first transistor M1 is electrically connected to the power control sub-circuit 612.

The gate of the third transistor M3 is electrically connected to the display power terminal Display Power, the drain of the third transistor M3 is electrically connected to the power control sub-circuit 612, and the source of the third transistor M3 is electrically connected to the source of the fourth transistor M4. The gate of the fourth transistor M4 is electrically connected to the display power terminal Display Power, and the drain of the fourth transistor M4 is electrically connected to the touch power terminal Touch Power.
[0131] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the touch drive unit 6112 further includes a resistor R. A first end of the resistor R is electrically connected to the display power terminal Display Power, and a second end of the resistor R is electrically connected to the gate of the third transistor M3. A display power signal Display Power can be applied to the gate of the third transistor M3 via the resistor R. The voltage terminal GND can be a ground terminal, and the voltage of the voltage terminal GND can be 0V. The resistor R can divide the touch power signal Touch Power provided by the touch power terminal Touch Power to prevent a short circuit when the second transistor M2 is turned on.
[0132] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the driving circuit 610 further includes a capacitor C. A first end of the capacitor C is electrically connected to the power control subcircuit 612, and a second end of the capacitor C is electrically connected to the voltage terminal GND. The capacitor C can stabilize the power signal input to the power control subcircuit 612.
[0133] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the voltage of the control signal GPIO provided by the control signal terminal GPIO is related to the power supply state of the display power terminal Display Power.
[0134] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the display power supply terminal Display Power is in the power supply state, the level of the control signal GPIO is low. The first transistor M1 is a PMOS transistor, and the second transistor M2 is an NMOS transistor. Under the control of the low level of the control signal GPIO, the first transistor M1 is in the on state, and the second transistor M2 is in the off state. The display power supply signal Display Power is also applied to the gate of the third transistor M3, the gate of the fourth transistor M4, and the drain of the second transistor M2 through the resistor R. The gate voltage of the third transistor M3 and the gate voltage of the fourth transistor M4 gradually increase. Since the third transistor M3 is a PMOS transistor, the third transistor M3 and the fourth transistor M4 are in the off state.
[0135] In this case, the second transistor M2, the third transistor M3, and the fourth transistor M4 in the touch driving unit 6112 are all in the off state, and the first transistor M1 in the display driving unit 6111 is in the on state. Therefore, when the display power terminal Display Power and the touch power terminal Touch Power are both in the power supply state, the display power signal Display Power is output to the power control sub-circuit 612 through the first transistor M1.
[0136] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the display power supply terminal Display Power is in a power-off state, the level of the control signal GPIO is a high level. The first transistor M1 is a PMOS transistor, and the second transistor M2 is an NMOS transistor. Under the control of the high level of the control signal GPIO, the first transistor M1 is in an off state, and the second transistor M2 is in an on state. When the second transistor M2 is in an on state, due to the action of the resistor R, the voltage GND is applied to the gate of the third transistor M3 and the gate of the fourth transistor M4 through the second transistor M2. Because the third transistor M3 and the fourth transistor M4 are PMOS transistors, under the control of the low level voltage GND, the third transistor M3 and the fourth transistor M4 are in an on state.
[0137] In this case, the second transistor M2, the third transistor M3, and the fourth transistor M4 in the touch driving unit 6112 are all in the on state, and the first transistor M1 in the display driving unit 6111 is in the off state. Therefore, when the display power terminal Display Power is in the power-off state and the touch power terminal Touch Power is in the power-on state, the touch power signal Touch Power is output to the power control sub-circuit 612 through the third transistor M3 and the fourth transistor M4.
[0138] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the display power supply terminal Display Power is in the power supply state, the level of the control signal GPIO is low. The first transistor M1 is a PMOS transistor, and the second transistor M2 is an NMOS transistor. Under the control of the low level of the control signal GPIO, the first transistor M1 is in the on state, and the second transistor M2 is in the off state. The display power supply signal Display Power is also applied to the gate of the third transistor M3 and the gate of the fourth transistor M4 through the resistor R. The gate voltage of the third transistor M3 and the gate voltage of the fourth transistor M4 gradually increase. Since the third transistor M3 and the fourth transistor M4 are PMOS transistors, the third transistor M3 and the fourth transistor M4 are in the off state.
[0139] In this case, the second transistor M2, the third transistor M3, and the fourth transistor M4 in the touch driving unit 6112 are all in the off state, and the first transistor M1 in the display driving unit 6111 is in the on state. Therefore, when the display power terminal Display Power is in the power supply state and the touch power terminal Touch Power is in the power-off state, the display power signal Display Power is output to the power control sub-circuit 612 through the first transistor M1.
[0140] When the touch power supply terminal Touch Power is in a power-off state, the touch panel may be in an off state (not operating). When the display power signal Display Power is output to the power control sub-circuit 612 through the first transistor M1, the display power signal Display Power is also applied to the source of the fourth transistor M4 through the parasitic diode of the third transistor M3. At this time, the display power signal Display Power is blocked by the parasitic diode of the fourth transistor M4. Therefore, the display power signal Display Power does not leak to the touch power supply terminal Touch Power through the third transistor M3 and the fourth transistor M4. This avoids the phenomenon of the voltage of the touch power supply terminal Touch Power increasing due to leakage, which can prevent the touch panel from erroneously starting up.
[0141] According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the display power terminal Display Power is supplying power, the first transistor M1 is in an on state, the second transistor M2, the third transistor M3, and the fourth transistor M4 are all in an off state, and the display power signal Display Power is output to the power control sub-circuit 612 via the first transistor M1. When the display power terminal Display Power is powered off, the first transistor M1 is in an off state, the second transistor M2, the third transistor M3, and the fourth transistor M4 are all in an on state, and the touch power terminal Touch Power outputs the touch power signal Touch Power to the power control sub-circuit 612 via the third transistor M3 and the fourth transistor M4. Therefore, the connection structure of the transistors in the power switching sub-circuit 511 enables switching output of the power signal. Furthermore, transistors have the advantages of easy control, low voltage drop, and fast response speed. The power switching sub-circuit 611 can reduce the voltage drop of the power signal output to the power control sub-circuit 612, thereby stabilizing the voltage of the power signal output to the power control sub-circuit 612.
[0142] In addition, the source of the third transistor M3 is electrically connected to the source of the fourth transistor M4, and the third transistor M3 and the fourth transistor M4 form an inverter. This can prevent leakage in the third transistor M3 and the fourth transistor M4 when the display power supply terminal Display Power is powered on and the touch power supply terminal Touch Power is powered off. The drain of the first transistor M1 is electrically connected to the display power supply terminal Display Power, which can prevent leakage in the first transistor M1 when the display power supply terminal Display Power is powered off and the touch power supply terminal Touch Power is powered on.

[0149] FIG7 is a schematic structural diagram of a driving circuit according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0150] As shown in FIG. 7 , in embodiment 700 , a driving circuit 710 is electrically connected to a source driving circuit 720 , and the driving circuit 710 supplies power to the source driving circuit 720 so that the source driving circuit 720 can operate normally.
[0151] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the driver circuit 710 includes a power switching subcircuit 711, a power control subcircuit 712, a timing control subcircuit 713, and a signal control subcircuit 714. The power switching subcircuit 711 and the power control subcircuit 712 are similar to the power switching subcircuit 111 and the power control subcircuit 112 described above, and for the sake of brevity, they are not further described herein.
[0152] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the timing control sub-circuit 713 is electrically connected to the power control sub-circuit 712 and the source driver circuit 720. For example, the timing control sub-circuit 713 may be a timing controller (TCON).
[0153] Driven by the touch power signal Touch Power or the display power signal Display Power, the power control sub-circuit 712 outputs a sequential power signal to the timing control sub-circuit 713. Driven by the sequential power signal from the power control sub-circuit 712, the synchronization signal SYNC is output.
[0154] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the signal control subcircuit 714 is electrically connected to the timing control subcircuit 713, the source driver circuit 720, and the touch power terminal Touch Power. For example, the signal control subcircuit 714 can be a microcontroller unit (MCU).
[0155] The signal control sub-circuit 714 receives the touch power signal and, driven by the touch power signal, outputs a switching signal based on the synchronization signal SYNC. The switching signal is used to control the source driver circuit 720 to switch between the display driving mode and the touch driving mode.
[0156] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, in the display drive mode, the source driver circuit 720 can provide a data signal to the display panel. In the touch drive mode, the source driver circuit 720 can collect touch operations from the touch panel. For example, the synchronization signal SYNC can be a pulse signal. When the synchronization signal SYNC is at a high level, the switching signal output by the signal control subcircuit 714 can control the source driver circuit 720 to enter the display drive mode. When the synchronization signal SYNC is at a low level, the switching signal output by the signal control subcircuit 714 can control the source driver circuit 720 to enter the touch drive mode.
[0157] In the disclosed embodiment, the power switching sub-circuit 711 outputs the touch power signal Touch Power or the display power signal Display Power to the power control sub-circuit 712. The power control sub-circuit 712 can convert the received power signal into a timing power signal required for the operation of the timing control sub-circuit 713 and a source power signal required for the operation of the source driver circuit 720. The touch power terminal Touch Power can directly output the touch power signal Touch Power to the signal control sub-circuit 714 for operation.
[0158] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the timing control sub-circuit 713 may also output a display signal to the source driver circuit 720. The source driver circuit 720 may generate a data signal based on the display signal, and the display panel may display an image based on the data signal.
[0159] In the disclosed embodiment, the source driver circuit 720, in touch drive mode, can collect sensor signals from the touch panel. Sensor signals are signals generated by the touch panel based on received touch operations. Based on the sensor signals, the source driver circuit 720 generates touch signals and sends the touch signals to the signal control subcircuit 714. The signal control subcircuit 714 processes the touch signals and sends the data processing results to the system, thereby completing the touch point reporting action.

[0161] As shown in FIG8 , the signal control sub-circuit 814 may provide a control signal GPIO outputted by the control signal terminal GPIO.
[0162] In the disclosed embodiment, a first terminal of the signal control subcircuit 814 is electrically connected to a first terminal of a first resistor R1 and a first terminal of a second resistor R2. A second terminal of the first resistor R1 is electrically connected to a display power terminal Display Power. A second terminal of the second resistor R2 is electrically connected to a voltage terminal GND.
[0163] The second end of the signal control subcircuit 814 is electrically connected to the first end of the third resistor R3 and the control signal terminal GPIO. The second end of the third resistor R3 is electrically connected to the touch power terminal Touch Power. The second end of the third resistor R3 is also electrically connected to the first end of the fourth resistor R4. The second end of the fourth resistor R4 is electrically connected to the voltage terminal GND.
[0164] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2 can be used to divide the voltage of the display power signal Display Power provided by the display power terminal Display Power. The third resistor R3 and the fourth resistor R4 can be used to divide the voltage of the touch power signal Touch Power provided by the touch power terminal Touch Power. This can prevent the signal control subcircuit 814 from short-circuiting when the display power terminal Display Power and / or the touch power signal Touch Power are in a powering state.
[0165] For example, the resistance of the first resistor R1 and the third resistor R3 may be 4.7KΩ. The resistance of the second resistor R2 and the fourth resistor R4 may be 200KΩ. The present disclosure does not limit the resistance of the first resistor R1, the second resistor R2, the third resistor R3, and the fourth resistor R4.
[0166] In the disclosed embodiment, the signal control subcircuit 814 can output an electrical signal having a high level or a low level depending on the power-on or power-off state of the display power terminal Display Power. For example, when the display power terminal Display Power is in the power-on state, the signal control subcircuit 814 outputs an electrical signal having a high level to indicate that the display power signal Display Power is being output. In this case, the voltage of the electrical signal is consistent with the voltage of the display power signal Display Power output by the display power terminal Display Power. When the display power terminal Display Power is in the power-off state, the signal control subcircuit 814 outputs an electrical signal having a low level to indicate that the display power signal Display Power is not being output. In this case, the voltage of the electrical signal can be 0V.
[0167] In the disclosed embodiment, the signal control subcircuit 814 receives the display power signal Display Power and, based on the display drive signal Display Power, outputs a control signal GPIO. For example, the power switching subcircuit can output the touch power signal Touch Power or the display power signal Display Power to the power control subcircuit based on the control signal GPIO.
[0168] For example, when the display power terminal Display Power is in a power-off state, the control signal GPIO output by the signal control subcircuit 814 has a high level. When the display power terminal Display Power is in a powering state, the control signal GPIO output by the signal control subcircuit 814 has a low level.
[0169] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the timing control sub-circuit 814 further receives a control signal GPIO and outputs a display signal to the source driver circuit based on the control signal GPIO. The source driver circuit can output a data signal based on the display signal.
[0170] For example, when the control signal GPIO is determined to be at a high level, the display power supply terminal Display Power is in a powered-down state, and the display panel does not display any image. Therefore, the timing control subcircuit 814 can output a display signal to cause the source driver circuit to output a data signal, thereby controlling the display panel to display an entirely black image, thereby reducing operating losses in the source driver circuit. For example, the voltage of the data signal can indicate a grayscale value of 0.
[0171] In the disclosed embodiment, under the control of the control signal GPIO, the timing control subcircuit 814 can also output a clock control signal. The clock control signal is used to control the output state of the clock signal. For example, if the control signal GPIO is determined to be high, the timing control subcircuit 814 can disable the clock signal in the display panel based on the clock control signal. For example, the clock signal in the gate driver circuit can be disabled so that the gate driver circuit does not scan the pixel units in the display panel. This can reduce losses in the gate driver circuit.
[0172] FIG9 is a schematic structural diagram of a driving circuit according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0173] As shown in FIG9 , the driving circuit 910 includes a power switching subcircuit 911, a power control subcircuit 912, a timing control subcircuit 913, and a signal control subcircuit 914. The power switching subcircuit 911, the power control subcircuit 912, the timing control subcircuit 913, and the signal control subcircuit 914 are similar to the power switching subcircuit 711, the power control subcircuit 712, the timing control subcircuit 713, and the signal control subcircuit 714 described above, respectively. For the sake of brevity, similar parts are not repeated here in this disclosure.
[0174] In the disclosed embodiment, the signal control subcircuit 914 receives a sleep signal, Sleep, which may be from a mainboard. The sleep signal may be generated by the mainboard upon receipt of a sleep instruction. The sleep instruction may instruct the display driven by the source driver circuit to enter a sleep state. For example, when the mainboard sends the sleep signal Sleep to the signal control subcircuit 914, the mainboard may also control the display power supply terminal Display Power to be powered down based on the sleep signal Sleep. In this case, the display panel enters a sleep state and the screen is turned off.
[0175] In one example, although the mainboard controls the display power terminal Display Power to be in a power-off state based on the sleep signal Sleep, the touch power terminal Touch Power may still be in a power supply state. Therefore, the power switching sub-circuit 911 can output the touch power signal Touch Power to the power control sub-circuit 912 to power the power control sub-circuit 912. The power control sub-circuit 912 converts the received touch power signal Touch Power into a timing power signal required for the operation of the timing control sub-circuit 913. This causes the timing control sub-circuit 913 to output a display signal to the source driver circuit, causing the source driver circuit to output a data signal to the display panel, resulting in the display panel being unable to turn off the screen and thus being unable to enter the sleep state.
[0176] To overcome the above-mentioned problems, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the signal control subcircuit 914 can receive a sleep signal Sleep and output a control signal GPIO based on the sleep signal Sleep. At this time, the signal control subcircuit 914 can control the control signal GPIO to be low based on the sleep signal Sleep. The signal control subcircuit 914 outputs the control signal GPIO with a low level to the power switching subcircuit 911. Under the control of the control signal GPIO with a low level, the power switching subcircuit 911 is in an open circuit state. At this time, the power switching subcircuit 911 cannot output the received touch power signal Touch Power to the power control subcircuit 912, and the power control subcircuit 912 cannot work normally, so that the timing control subcircuit 913 cannot drive the source driver circuit. Therefore, under the control of the sleep signal Sleep, the display panel can enter a sleep state.
[0177] For example, in the embodiment shown in FIG8 , the signal control subcircuit 814 can output a control signal GPIO having a corresponding level based on the signal output state of the display power terminal Display Power. For example, when the display power terminal Display Power is in a power-off state, the control signal GPIO output by the signal control subcircuit 814 has a high level. When the display power terminal Display Power is in a powering state, the control signal GPIO output by the signal control subcircuit 814 has a low level.
[0178] In the disclosed embodiment, the sleep signal "Sleep" has a higher priority than the signal output state of the display power terminal "Display Power." When the signal control sub-circuit 914 receives the sleep signal "Sleep," it controls the control signal "GPIO" to a low level based solely on the sleep signal "Sleep," thereby preventing the power switching sub-circuit 911 from outputting the touch power signal "Touch Power" and the display power signal "Display Power."
[0179] For example, referring back to FIG6A , although the display power terminal Display Power is in a power-off state, when the signal control sub-circuit receives the sleep signal Sleep, the level of the control signal GPIO is low.
[0180] The first transistor M1 is a PMOS transistor, and the second transistor M2 is an NMOS transistor. Under the control of the low level of the control signal GPIO, the first transistor M1 is in the on state, and the second transistor M2 is in the off state. Although the first transistor M1 is in the on state, because the display power supply terminal Display Power is in the off state, the display power signal Display Power is not applied to the power control sub-circuit 612 through the first transistor M1.
[0181] When the second transistor M2 is in the off state, since the display power terminal Display Power is in the power-off state, the voltages of the gates of the third transistor M3 and the fourth transistor M4 are in a floating state, and the third transistor M3 and the fourth transistor M4 are in the off state. Therefore, the touch power signal Touch Power is not applied to the power control sub-circuit 612 through the third transistor M3 and the fourth transistor M4.
[0182] In this case, the second transistor M2, the third transistor M3, and the fourth transistor M4 are all in the off state, and the first transistor M1 is in the on state. Therefore, when the display power terminal Display Power is in the power-off state and the touch power terminal Touch Power is in the power-on state, neither the touch power signal Touch Power nor the display power signal Display Power is output to the power control sub-circuit 612. Therefore, the display panel can enter the sleep state.
[0183] In the disclosed embodiment, the signal control subcircuit 914 may also receive a sleep termination signal. After receiving the sleep termination signal, the signal control subcircuit 914 controls the level of the control signal GPIO based on the signal output state of the display power supply terminal Display Power. For example, when the display power supply terminal Display Power is in a power-off state, the control signal GPIO output by the signal control subcircuit 914 is at a high level. When the display power supply terminal Display Power is in a powering state, the control signal GPIO output by the signal control subcircuit 914 is at a low level.
[0184] In the disclosed embodiment, the signal control subcircuit 914 receives the sleep signal "Sleep" and, based on the sleep signal "Sleep", outputs a sleep mode signal "Sleep Mode". The timing control subcircuit 913 outputs a display signal to the source driver circuit based on the sleep mode signal "Sleep Mode". The display signal is used to control the source driver circuit to output a data signal, and the display signal controls the grayscale value indicated by the data signal to be 0.
[0185] For example, under the control of the sleep mode signal, the timing control sub-circuit 913 can control the display panel to display no image or a black image. Therefore, the timing control sub-circuit 914 can output a display signal to cause the source driver circuit to output a data signal to control the display panel to display an entirely black image, thereby reducing operating losses of the source driver circuit. For example, the voltage of the data signal can indicate a grayscale value of 0.
[0186] In the disclosed embodiment, the signal control subcircuit 914 can control the power switching subcircuit 911 to not output a power signal after outputting the sleep mode signal "Sleep Mode" to the timing control subcircuit 913. When the timing control subcircuit 913 controls the display panel to display a black screen based on the sleep mode signal "Sleep Mode," the power switching subcircuit 911 controls the display panel to enter a sleep state. This can prevent problems such as screen flickering when the display panel switches from a normal display screen to a black screen.

For the sake of brevity, the present disclosure will not further elaborate on these details.
[0195] In the disclosed embodiment, the power switching subcircuit 1111 outputs the touch power signal Touch Power or the display power signal Display Power to the power control subcircuit 1112.
