[Prior Art] [〇〇〇2] Press, today's technology is booming, information products are innovating, and 满足 meets the different needs of the public. Most of the early displays were cathode ray tube (CRT) displays, which were extremely large in size and power consumption, and the radiation generated was a 'hazard to the body for users who used the display for a long time. As a result, today's displays on the market are gradually replacing the old CRT displays with liquid crystal displays (LCDs). Liquid crystal displays have the advantages of being thin and light, low in radiation and low in power consumption, and thus have become the mainstream in the current market. Furthermore, with the rapid leap forward in panel production technology in recent years, the production cost of touch panels has been greatly reduced. Therefore, touch panels have been widely used in general consumer electronic products, such as mobile phone handsets. Small electronic devices such as digital cameras, digital music players (Mp3), personal digital assistants (PDAs), and satellite navigation devices (GPS). On these electronic products, the touch panel is configured on the display screen of the electric appliance to allow Users can perform interactive input operations, greatly improve the user-friendliness of the communication interface between people and machines, and improve the efficiency of input operations. 100123749 In order to solve a wide range of power supply specifications in the application of a single power supply for mobile phones, For example, 2. 3V~4. 6V, and reducing the area of the driving chip of the driving display panel, and simultaneously proposing the driving modes of the two kinds of demand form number A0101, page 3 / total 25 one hundred 1002040239-0 201222521.
