Abstract: An electronic circuit adapted to drive a display panel is provided. The electronic circuit includes a touch sensing circuit, a fingerprint sensing circuit and a display driving circuit. The touch sensing circuit senses a touch of a finger and determines a first area corresponding to the touch on the display panel. The fingerprint sensing circuit senses a fingerprint image of the finger corresponding to the first area. The display driving circuit drives pixels of the first area with respective first gray levels and pixels of a second area outside the first area with respective second gray levels. The display driving circuit processes respective third gray levels to obtain the respective first gray levels or the respective second gray levels. The display driving circuit generates gamma voltages corresponding to the respective first gray levels and the respective second gray levels according to a same gamma curve.

Abstract: A driving circuit and a synchronization method thereof for a multi-panel display device are provided. The driving circuit includes a first driving chip and a second driving chip which share a power circuit. One of the first driving chip and the second driving chip is set as a master driving chip or a slave driving chip based on a control signal. The master driving chip transmits a power enable signal and a control signal to the power circuit, which triggers the power circuit providing power voltages to the master driving chip and the slave driving chip. When the master driving chip transmits a timing control signal to the slave driving chip, the slave driving chip performs a power synchronization operation to synchronize with the master driving chip based on the timing control signal.
