DISPLAY DEVICE: abstract simplified (18097514)

• This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18097514 Titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a display device that consists of a base layer and a pixel layer. The pixel layer contains multiple pixels and sensors. Each pixel has a light emitting element and a pixel drive circuit to control its operation. The sensors have a light sensing unit with multiple light sensing elements, a sensor drive circuit that generates a sensing signal when exposed to light, and a routing wire that connects the light sensing elements together.

Original Abstract Submitted

Disclosed is a display device including a base layer and a pixel layer that is disposed on the base layer and that includes a plurality of pixels and a plurality of sensors. Each of the plurality of pixels includes a light emitting element and a pixel drive circuit connected to the light emitting element to control driving of the light emitting element. Each of the plurality of sensors includes a light sensing unit including a plurality of light sensing elements, a sensor drive circuit that is connected to at least two light sensing elements and that outputs a sensing signal in response to light, and a routing wire that electrically connects the at least two light sensing elements to each other.
