Abstract
There are provided a touch sensing apparatus and a touch sensing method. The touch sensing apparatus includes: a panel unit provided with a plurality of electrodes; a sensing circuit unit detecting variations in capacitance in the plurality of electrodes; and a calculating unit determining a touch from the variations in capacitance, wherein the calculating unit applies different parameters for determining the touch to the plurality of individual electrodes. The parameters such as an integration time, a digital signal conversion time, and a driving signal application time are set differently according to positions in which the variations in capacitance are detected, driving efficiency may be improved and power consumption may be significantly reduced.
