Abstract

Provided are a display device and a mobile electronic device. A display device includes a display panel, a pancake lens for controlling a path of a display light outputted from the display panel, a light-receiving sensor overlapping a dummy area of the display panel, the dummy area being at an outer edge of a field of view of the pancake lens, a circuit substrate including a driving circuit for driving the display panel and a power circuit, and a light source configured to output near-infrared light to be recognized by the light-receiving sensor.

Claims (36)

1 . A display device comprising:

a frame;

a display panel supported by the frame;

a pancake lens for controlling a path of a display light outputted from the display panel;

a light-receiving sensor at corners of the display panel and overlapping a dummy area of the display panel spaced apart from the frame, the dummy area being at an outer edge of a field of view of the pancake lens;

a circuit substrate comprising a driving circuit for driving the display panel and a power circuit; and

a light source configured to output near-infrared light to be recognized by the light-receiving sensor.

2 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the display panel comprises a first corner area, a second corner area, a third corner area, and fourth corner area positioned on the outer edge of the field of view of the pancake lens, and

wherein the light-receiving sensor overlaps the first corner area, the second corner area, the third corner area, and the fourth corner area.

3 . The display device of claim 2 , wherein the light-receiving sensor is at a top of the first corner area, the second corner area, the third corner area, and the fourth corner area.

4 . The display device of claim 3 , wherein the light-receiving sensor is between the display panel and the pancake lens.

5 . The display device of claim 2 , wherein the light-receiving sensor is at a bottom of the first corner area, the second corner area, the third corner area, and the fourth corner area, and

wherein the first corner area, the second corner area, the third corner area, and the fourth corner area comprise a transparent area in which no light-emitting element is located.

6 . The display device of claim 5 , wherein the light-receiving sensor is between the display panel and the circuit substrate.

7 . The display device of claim 6 , wherein the light-receiving sensor is configured to detect the near-infrared light.

8 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the display panel comprises a silicon substrate, and a light-emitting element on the silicon substrate.

9 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the circuit substrate comprises a control circuit configured to track eye movement of a user by using the light-receiving sensor, and configured to control a screen of the display panel based on the eye movement.

10 . The display device of claim 9 , wherein the circuit substrate is of a timing controller.

11 . A eyeglasses-type mobile electronic device for displaying virtual reality or augmented reality, and comprising:

a frame;

a display panel supported by the frame;

a pancake lens for controlling a path of a display light outputted from the display panel;

a light-receiving sensor at corners of the display panel and overlapping a dummy area of the display panel spaced apart from the frame, the dummy area being on an outer edge of a field of view of the pancake lens;

a circuit substrate comprising a driving circuit for driving the display panel and a power circuit; and

a light source configured to output near-infrared light recognized by the light-receiving sensor.

12 . The eyeglasses-type mobile electronic device of claim 11 , wherein the display panel comprises a first corner area, a second corner area, a third corner area, and fourth corner area at the outer edge of the field of view of the pancake lens, and

wherein the light-receiving sensor overlaps the first corner area, the second corner area, the third corner area, and the fourth corner area.

13 . The eyeglasses-type mobile electronic device of claim 12 , wherein the light-receiving sensor is at a top of the first corner area, the second corner area, the third corner area, and the fourth corner area.

14 . The eyeglasses-type mobile electronic device of claim 13 , wherein the light-receiving sensor is between the display panel and the pancake lens.

15 . The eyeglasses-type mobile electronic device of claim 12 , wherein the light-receiving sensor is at a bottom of the first corner area, the second corner area, the third corner area, and the fourth corner area, and

wherein the first corner area, the second corner area, the third corner area, and the fourth corner area comprise a transparent area in which no light-emitting element is located.

16 . The eyeglasses-type mobile electronic device of claim 15 , wherein the light-receiving sensor is between the display panel and the circuit substrate.

17 . The eyeglasses-type mobile electronic device of claim 16 , wherein the light-receiving sensor is configured to detect the near-infrared light.

18 . The eyeglasses-type mobile electronic device of claim 11 , wherein the display panel comprises a silicon substrate, and a light-emitting element on the silicon substrate.

19 . The eyeglasses-type mobile electronic device of claim 11 , wherein the circuit substrate comprises a control circuit configured to track eye movement of a user by using the light-receiving sensor, and configured to control a screen of the display panel based on the eye movement.

20 . The eyeglasses-type mobile electronic device of claim 19 , wherein the control circuit is of a timing controller.
