  • noise is shown in the touch detection signal Vdet in the display period Pd due to indirect coupling between a pixel signal line SGL and a touch detection electrode TDL in a similar way to that in the embodiment. That is, first, a pixel signal Vpix is transmitted to a drive electrode COML through parasitic capacitance Cpd 1 ( FIG. 13A ), and, for example, shown as noise in a DC drive signal VcomDC applied to the drive electrode COML (waveform W 3 in (E) of FIG. 15 ). The noise is transmitted to the touch detection electrode TDL through parasitic capacitance Cpd 2 ( FIG.
  • noise in the touch detection signal Vdet caused by indirect coupling is due to the change in each of the plurality of pixel signals Vpix, which occurs in each display period Pd depending on the change in each of the plurality of pixel signals Vpix (VpixR 1 , VpixG 1 , VpixB 1 , VpixR 2 , VpixG 2 , and VpixB 2 ).
  • noise (waveform W 4 ) shown in the touch detection signal Vdet has a similar waveform to noise (waveform W 3 ) in the DC drive signal VcomDC. That is, noise voltage shown in the touch detection signal Vdet is changed based on the change in the pixel signal Vpix, and then gradually changed.
  • an operational amplifier OPA operates such that positive input and negative input of the amplifier are virtually short-circuited to each other. That is, the operational amplifier OPA supplies a current IR to the touch detection electrode TDL to adjust the voltage of the negative input terminal, connected with the touch detection electrode TDL, of the operational amplifier OPA to be 0 V ( FIG. 16A ).
  • the noise voltage shown in the touch detection signal Vdet is changed based on the change in the pixel signal Vpix, and then changed towards 0 V by the current IR and reversed in polarity after passing through 0 V, as illustrated in the waveform W 4 in (F) of FIG. 15 .
  • Noise voltage of the touch detection signal Vdet in black display (solid line) and that in white display (dashed line) are reverse in polarity in respect to each other. Consequently, for example, a voltage level of the touch detection signal Vdet in black display (solid line) is different from that in white display (dashed line) at the end of the display period Pd.
  • the touch detection signal Vdet is changed based on transition of the AC drive signal VcomAC at timing t 31 .
  • a waveform of the touch detection signal Vdet is also varied depending on display content due to a fact that the voltage level of the signal Vdet is varied depending on display content at the end of the display period Pd. Consequently, a result of integration of the touch detection signal Vdet in the touch detection period Pt is also varied depending on display content.

  • This example shows a case that the pixel signal VpixR 1 is shown as noise in the touch detection signal Vdet due to direct coupling.
  • noise is shown in the touch detection signal Vdet in the display period Pd due to direct coupling between the pixel signal line SGL and the touch detection electrode TDL in a similar way to that in the embodiment. That is, in this example, the pixel signal VpixR 1 is transmitted to the touch detection electrode TDL through parasitic capacitance Cpi ( FIG. 13B ), and thus shown as noise in the touch detection signal Vdet (waveform W 5 in (E) of FIG. 17 ).
  • noise in the touch detection signal Vdet due to the direct coupling is caused by a fact that a pixel signal VpixR 1 is changed every one horizontal period, and occurs in correspondence to the change in approximately one pixel signal Vpix (pixel signal VpixR 1 in the example) in each display period Pd.
  • the display unit with a touch detection function 1 R in either case of considering direct coupling or considering indirect coupling between the pixel signal line SGL and the touch detection electrode TDL, the voltage level of the touch detection signal Vdet is varied depending on display content immediately before the touch detection period Pt. As a result, a result of integration of the touch detection signal Vdet in the touch detection period Pt is also varied depending on display content. In other words, an SN ratio of the touch detection signal Vdet may be degraded due to display. The display unit with a touch detection function 1 R may therefore be degraded in touch position accuracy or the like.
  • the voltage level of the touch detection signal Vdet is constant regardless of display content immediately before the touch detection period Pt. That is, in the display unit with a touch detection function 1 , the read switch SWS is turned on immediately before the touch detection period Pt, thereby the virtual short-circuit voltage (0 V) of the negative input terminal of the operational amplifier OPA is applied to the touch detection electrode TDL, and therefore voltage of the touch detection signal Vdet is 0 V regardless of display content ((H) of FIG. 11 ). Accordingly, a result of integration of the touch detection signal Vdet in the touch detection period Pt may not be affected by display content.
  • the voltage of the pixel signal line SGL is prevented from being changed in the touch detection period, which makes it possible to suppress the change in the touch detection signal caused by the changes in the pixel signals, and thus influence of display operation on touch detection may be suppressed.
  • a read switch is provided and turned on immediately before the touch detection period, which makes it possible to set the voltage of the touch detection signal Vdet to 0 V regardless of display content, and thus influence of display operation on touch detection may be suppressed.
