The background image is pre-stored in the storage array. The display control circuitry displays and renders the background image in accordance with the touch point coordinate information and the preset coordinate pattern display information so as to generate the touch point image information.

[0090] During the implementation, the display control circuitry includes a time sequence control unit circuitry, and the coordinate pattern display information is provided in the time sequence control unit circuitry. The generating, by the time sequence touch control chip, the touch point image information in accordance with the touch point coordinate information includes: obtaining, by the touch control circuitry, the background image from the storage array, and transmitting the touch point coordinate information and the background image to the time sequence control unit circuitry; and displaying and rendering, by the time sequence control unit circuitry, the background image in accordance with the touch point coordinate information and the coordinate pattern display information to generate the touch point image information.

[0091] During the implementation, the display control circuitry includes the time sequence control unit circuitry, and the coordinate pattern display information is provided in the time sequence control unit circuitry. The time sequence control unit circuitry is configured to display and render the background image in accordance with the touch point coordinate information and the coordinate pattern display information so as to generate the touch point image information.

[0092] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the touch display driving module further includes a host. The touch display driving method further includes: transmitting, by the touch control circuitry, the touch point coordinate information to the host; performing, by the host, control response in accordance with the touch point coordinate information, generating control response image information, and returning the control response image information to the time sequence control unit circuitry, the control response image information being display information corresponding to the control response image; and displaying, by the time sequence control unit circuitry, the control response image on the display screen in accordance with the control response image information, the control response image being an image showing a response action after the display screen has been touched.

[0093] The present disclosure further provides in some embodiments a display device including the above-mentioned touch display driving module.

[0094] The display device may be any product or member having a display function such as a cell phone, a tablet computer, a television, a display, a notebook computer, a digital photo frame or a navigator.

[0095] The above embodiments are for illustrative purposes only, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Obviously, a person skilled in the art may make further modifications and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present disclosure, and these modifications and improvements shall also fall within the scope of the present disclosure.
