Abstract:
A display device comprises counter electrodes configured to be used as common electrodes for displaying and scan electrodes for touch sensing, a first scan circuit which scans gate lines, and a second scan circuit which scans the counter electrodes. In the display device, one frame period includes a write period for continuously scanning one screen and a touch sensing period existing between the write period and a write period in the next frame. The second scan circuit includes a shift register unit and a switch unit. The switch unit includes a seventh thin-film transistor which outputs a DC drive signal to an output node and an eighth thin-film transistor which outputs an AC drive signal to the output node. A second control signal for fixing the voltage of a third retention node to which the gate electrode of the seventh thin-film transistor is connected is inputted in the write period.
