DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18107681 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a display with several components to control light emission and sensing.

  • The display includes a light emitting element that emits light.
  • A driving transistor is used to control the driving current flowing through the light emitting element.
  • A light sensing element is positioned away from the light emitting element and generates a photocurrent based on external light.
  • A first sensing transistor controls a sensing current flowing to a readout line based on the voltage of its gate electrode, which is connected to an electrode of the light sensing element.
  • A shielding electrode is placed around the side of the gate electrode of the first sensing transistor in plan view.


Original Abstract Submitted

A display includes a light emitting element that emits light, a driving transistor that controls a driving current flowing through the light emitting element, a light sensing element spaced apart from the light emitting element and generating a photocurrent according to external light, a first sensing transistor that controls a sensing current flowing to a readout line according to a voltage of a gate electrode of the first sensing transistor, which is electrically connected to an electrode of the light sensing element, and a shielding electrode disposed around a side of the gate electrode of the first sensing transistor in plan view.
