Abstract: A chip, an electronic device, a panel and an operation method thereof are provided. The chip can control the panel to perform fingerprint sensing. Fingerprint sensing pixels of the panel are divided into a plurality of fingerprint zones along a column direction. The chip includes a selecting circuit and a control circuit. The selecting circuit obtains information about a selected fingerprint zone among the fingerprint zones. The control circuit provides multiple control signals for controlling the panel to perform fingerprint sensing. The control signals include multiple start pulse signals. The start pulse signals collectively indicate the selected fingerprint zone. The number of the fingerprint zones is greater than the number of the start pulse signals.

Abstract: A timing control circuit and an operation method thereof are provided. The timing control circuit includes a receiving circuit, a line memory, and a timing generating circuit. The receiving circuit receives a video packet stream from the outside and provides an external horizontal sync signal and a first data signal. The line memory temporarily stores the first data signal, and outputs a second data signal to a source driver according to an internal horizontal sync signal generated by the timing generating circuit. A video frame period of the second data signal includes a video display operation period and a touch detection period. A video display operation period is divided into a plurality of sub-periods. The timing generating circuit performs a synchronization operation in each of the sub-periods, so as to synchronize the timing of the internal horizontal sync signal with the timing of the external horizontal sync signal.
