DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18135791 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a display device that includes scan lines, pixels, and photo sensors.

  • The display device has first and second scan lines, which are connected to the pixels.
  • Some of the scan lines are also connected to photo sensors, including a first photo sensor connected to the first scan line and a readout line, and a second photo sensor connected to the second scan line and the readout line.
  • A scan driver provides scan signals to the scan lines, and a readout circuit receives detection signals from the photo sensors in response to the scan signals.
  • While the scan signals are provided to the first and second scan lines, the readout circuit samples a detection signal from either the first photo sensor or the second photo sensor, but not both at the same time.


Original Abstract Submitted

A display device including: scan lines including first and second scan lines; pixels connected to the scan lines; photo sensors connected to some of the scan lines, the photo sensors including a first photo sensor connected to the first scan line and a readout line, and a second photo sensor connected to the second scan line and the readout line; a scan driver to provide scan signals to the scan lines; and a readout circuit to receive, through the readout line, detection signals which are outputted from the photo sensors in response to the scan signals, wherein, while the scan signals are provided to the first and second scan lines, the readout circuit samples a detection signal of one of the first photo sensor and the second photo sensor without sampling a detection signal of the other one of the first photo sensor and the second photo sensor.
