1. An input-display device, comprising:
a display driver configured to drive a display panel according to display information, the display panel defining a sensing region and including a first display area and a second display area, wherein the first display area corresponds to a first portion of the sensing region and the second display area corresponds to a second portion of the sensing region, and
wherein the first display area and the second display area are set to different frame rates based at least in part on respective contents displayed in the first and second display areas; and
a proximity sensing controller configured to:
adjust a first proximity sensing operation corresponding to the first portion of the sensing region based at least in part on first display information associated with the first display area; and
adjust a second proximity sensing operation corresponding to the second portion of the sensing region based at least in part on second display information associated with the second display area.
