Claim:
1. A touch-responsive and image displaying device, comprising: a touch screen panel or layer; a display panel or layer; a smart IC including a first logic unit configured to control and/or drive the touch screen panel/layer and a second logic unit configured to control and/or drive the display panel/layer; a display driver which is thermally distanced from the smart IC and is configured to receive from the second logic unit, processed display data that has been processed by the second logic unit, the display driver being configured to also receive from the second logic unit, a driving signal for synchronizing driving of the display panel; an application processor for bilaterally transmitting data to and receiving data from the smart IC, wherein the display driver is only connected to the application processor indirectly by way of the smart IC such that control signals for driving the display panel produced by the application processor are processed by the smart IC as an intermediary; and a power supply unit configured to provide high voltage power supply signals for driving the display panel, wherein the smart IC is configured to control the power supply unit to provide the high voltage power supply signals to the display driver without channeling the high voltage power supply signals through the smart IC.
