Patent ID: 7773068

Claim:
A display device comprising: an array substrate including pixels, each of the pixels has a sensor capacitance element, and an amplifier which amplifies a signal based on a change in a potential difference between both sides of each of the sensor capacitance element; an opposite substrate; a power supply unit configured to apply a precharge voltage and a reference voltage respectively to two electrodes of the sensor capacitance element; and a processor configured to determine that an object touches a display screen, and concurrently to calculate the coordinates touched by the object, on the basis of the signal amplified by the amplifier, wherein the reference voltage has voltage values oscillating, a first electrode of the two electrodes of the sensor capacitance element, which is closer to the object upon touching the display screen, has an area larger than the second electrode of the sensor capacitance element, and between the sensor capacitance element and the object upon touching the display screen, there are not electrodes.
