Abstract
The semiconductor device has a touch panel controller, a processor, and a display driver. The display driver has a memory circuit which rewritably stores control data for drive control of a display panel from outside the semiconductor device. The processor controls the touch panel controller based on a command provided from outside the semiconductor device, and accesses control data in the memory circuit for controlling internal parts of the semiconductor device. With the aid of the arrangement like this, the processor is allowed to control a touch panel based on the read control data fit to the control by the display driver, and to control, by writing control data, the display panel fit for a control condition of the touch panel.
