Abstract

A display-integrated tablet device is disclosed and is capable of increasing an actual display period to improve luminance of an image displayed. An actual image display period in a one-image-plane display period is divided into a plurality of block display periods and a detection period is provided before or after each of the block display periods. During the detection period, a pulse for detection is generated from a stylus pen and a voltage obtained at each of electrodes is input to each of X- and Y-coordinate detection sections and held in those sections for coordinate detection. The device includes scan-side switch sections for respectively connecting X- and Y-scan drivers to X- and Y-electrodes, and detection-side switch sections for respectively connecting X- and Y-coordinate detection sections to the X- and Y-electrodes, so that the scan-side switches sections and detection-side switch sections are turned on and turned off during an actual display period, and turned off and turned on during a detection mode period, respectively.
