Patent ID: 7612818

Claim:
An input sensor containing display device comprising: a group of pixel circuits arranged in a matrix; a group of sensor circuits arranged in a matrix; a display driving circuit which provides a display signal to each column of the group of pixel circuits and which provides a driving signal to each row of the group of pixel circuits; a read circuit which specifies a row and column of the group of sensor circuits to identify an optical sensor to read a sense signal from this optical sensor, the read circuit specifying one column line and a plurality of row lines of the group of sensor circuits for a part of one particular horizontal period within one frame to identify a plurality of sensor circuits to read sense signals from the plurality of sensor circuits as arithmetic outputs; a read signal processing section which processes the sense signal output by the read circuit in accordance with a command requesting execution of an application; a command register provided in the read signal processing section; and an interface section provided in the read signal processing section to transfer, when the command requesting execution of the application is sent to the interface section, the command to the command register.
