DISPLAY DEVICE AND DRIVING METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18387807 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE AND DRIVING METHOD THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a display device that includes a display panel with light emitting pixels and photosensitive pixels, along with an emission driver, a scan driver, and a timing controller. The photosensitive pixels are operated in different periods for initialization, light exposure, and sensing. The emission driver supplies emission control signals to the light emitting pixels, while the scan driver supplies scan signals to both light emitting and photosensitive pixels. The timing controller generates specific signals for emission and scan start based on the frame periods.

  • Display device with light emitting and photosensitive pixels

Original Abstract Submitted

A display device includes: a display panel; an emission driver; a scan driver; and a timing controller. The display panel includes light emitting pixels and photosensitive pixels, where the photosensitive pixels are operated in an initialization period, a light exposure period and a sensing period. The emission driver supplies emission control signals to emission control lines connected to the light emitting pixels, based on an emission start signal. The scan driver supplies scan signals to scan lines connected to the light emitting pixels and the photosensitive pixels, based on a scan start signal. The timing controller generates the emission start signal having a single pulse of a gate-off level and the scan start signal having a single pulse of a gate-on level in a last frame period among frame periods corresponding to the light exposure period and in each of frame periods corresponding to the sensing period.
