Abstract

An electronic device controlling a touch panel and performing a proximity sensing method is provided. The electronic device includes a touch controller. The touch controller is configured to group a plurality of touch sensors into a sensing group of one or more touch sensors and a non-sensing group of one or more touch sensors, control the sensing group to perform a proximity or hover sensing operation during a first sensing period and not control the non-sensing group to perform the proximity or hover sensing operation during the first sensing period, set one or more first touch sensors of the non-sensing group to a floating state during the first sensing period, and set one or more second touch sensors of the non-sensing group to a simultaneously-driven state during the first sensing period.
