DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18108823 Titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a display device that consists of display pixels and light sensing pixels. The display pixels have a light emitting part with a light emitting element and a pixel driver that applies a driving current to the light emitting element. The light sensing pixels have a light sensing part with an optical element and a sensing driver that applies a sensing current to a sensing line based on the photocurrent of the optical element.

The sensing driver includes a first sensing transistor that controls the sensing current flowing through the sensing line based on the voltage of a first electrode of the optical element. It also includes a second sensing transistor that initializes the first electrode of the optical element to a first level voltage.

Importantly, the channel layer of the first sensing transistor and the channel layer of the second sensing transistor are made of different materials.
