Touch-Sensing Display Panel Module Reset and Readout Timing

The patent applies preliminary action by extending the enable period of gate control signals to occur before the pixel refresh period. This allows the sensing unit to perform signal readout and voltage reset operations in advance, ensuring sufficient time for these operations even on large-sized panels where RC delay is significant. The gate control signal remains enabled during the entire pixel refresh period and extends beyond it, preparing the sensing unit beforehand.

The patent implements dynamics by making the enable period of gate control signals variable and overlapping with the pixel refresh period. The sensing unit dynamically adjusts its operation timing to overlap with the gate control signal enable period, allowing flexible coordination between pixel refreshing and sensing operations. This dynamic timing arrangement ensures adequate readout and reset time while maintaining large panel size.

The patent merges the sensing operations (signal readout and voltage reset) with the pixel refresh operation by overlapping their timing. The gate control signal enable period is combined with the pixel refresh period, allowing both operations to occur simultaneously or in overlapping time windows. This merging approach improves readout and reset time while avoiding the need for completely separate control timing schemes.

The gate control signal serves multiple functions: it controls both the pixel refresh operation and the sensing unit operations (signal readout and voltage reset). By making the gate control signal universal and having its enable period overlap with both pixel refresh and sensing operations, the patent reduces the need for additional dedicated control signals, thereby managing complexity while improving timing.
