DISPLAY DEVICE INCLUDING PHOTO-SENSING PIXELS: abstract simplified (18161029)

• This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18161029 Titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE INCLUDING PHOTO-SENSING PIXELS'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes a display device that consists of a substrate and multiple unit pixels. These unit pixels contain sub-pixels and photo-sensing pixels. The sub-pixels have a light emitting element and emit light from a specific area. The photo-sensing pixels have a light receiving area with a light receiving element that generates a sensing signal based on the amount of light detected. The light emitting area and the light receiving area are positioned apart from each other on the substrate. Both areas have a polygonal shape, but their shapes are different from each other.

Original Abstract Submitted

A display device includes a substrate; and a plurality of unit pixels disposed on the substrate and including sub-pixels and photo-sensing pixels. Each of the sub-pixels includes a light emitting element and a light emitting area from which light is emitted. Each of the photo-sensing pixels includes a light receiving area and a light receiving element disposed therein and outputting a sensing signal corresponding to a degree of sensed light. The light emitting area and the light receiving area are spaced apart from each other on the substrate. The light emitting area and the light receiving area each have a polygonal shape. Aa shape of the light emitting area is different from a shape of the light receiving area.
