According to one embodiment, the display device includes a display panel and touchsensor, the touchsensor outputs a detected signal from detection electrode. An energy saving control section sets a first period in which the detected signal is to be captured, and a second period which is a period except the first period, and controls, in the first period, at least power supply voltage of an image processing section, a panel control section and the display panel to an off-state or to a low voltage.
