Abstract

Sensing time of a touch sensor is shortened to increase responsiveness of touch sensing. A display device includes a gate driver, a plurality of touch sensors, and a plurality of touch wirings. The gate driver has a function of supplying a scan signal to the plurality of touch wirings at the same timing, and the touch sensors in different positions sense a plurality of touches at the same timing. In this manner, the responsiveness of touch sensing is increased. The gate driver has a function of controlling a scan signal for refreshing display and a scan signal used by the touch sensor for sensing.
