Abstract
A gate driver, a display device, and a driving method of a display panel are provided. The gate driver is coupled to a display panel with a plurality of scan lines. The gate driver includes an output enable control circuit and a channel scan circuit. The output enable control circuit receives an output enable signal and a touch input signal to provide an odd scan enable signal and an even scan enable signal. The channel scan circuit receives the odd scan enable signal, the even scan enable signal, a column pulse signal, and a scan timing signal to control the scan lines sequentially. During a long horizontal mode period, the output enable control circuit masks the odd scan enable signal and the even scan enable signal in a disabled state based on the touch input signal is enabled and the output enable signal is enabled.
