Abstract

A display device includes: a base layer; a circuit layer on the base layer; and an element layer on the circuit layer and including a plurality of light emitting elements and a photo-sensing element, wherein the plurality of light emitting elements include: a first emission layer configured to emit a first color light; a second emission layer configured to emit a second color light different from the first color light; and a third emission layer configured to emit a third color light different from the first color light and the second color light, and the photo-sensing element includes a photoelectric conversion layer overlapping at least any one of a part of the first emission layer, a part of the second emission layer, or a part of the third emission layer.

Claims (20)

1 . A display device comprising:

a base layer;

a circuit layer on the base layer; and

an element layer on the circuit layer and including a plurality of light emitting elements and a photo-sensing element,

wherein the plurality of light emitting elements include:

a first emission layer configured to emit a first color light;

a second emission layer configured to emit a second color light different from the first color light; and

a third emission layer configured to emit a third color light different from the first color light and the second color light,

the photo-sensing element includes a photoelectric conversion layer overlapping at least any one of a part of the first emission layer, a part of the second emission layer, or a part of the third emission layer; and

a pixel defining film on the circuit layer and having a first opening in which the first emission layer is located, a second opening in which the second emission layer is located, and a third opening in which the third emission layer is defined therein,

wherein the photoelectric conversion layer does not overlap the first opening, the second opening, and the third opening.

2 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first emission layer, the second emission layer, and the third emission layer are spaced apart.

3 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the photoelectric conversion layer overlaps portions of each of the first to third emission layers.

4 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein a portion of the photoelectric conversion layer is above a portion of at least any one of the first emission layer, the second emission layer, or the third emission layer.

5 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein a portion of the photoelectric conversion layer is below a portion of at least any one of the first emission layer, the second emission layer, or the third emission layer.

6 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the photo-sensing element further comprises an auxiliary photoelectric conversion layer below the photoelectric conversion layer, wherein the photoelectric conversion layer and the auxiliary photoelectric conversion layer are in direct contact.

7 . The display device of claim 6 , wherein a part of the auxiliary photoelectric conversion layer overlaps at least any one of the first emission layer, the second emission layer, or the third emission layer.

8 . The display device of claim 6 , wherein an edge of the photoelectric conversion layer and an edge of the auxiliary photoelectric conversion layer are aligned.

9 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of light emitting elements further comprise at least any one of a first auxiliary emission layer below the first emission layer, a second auxiliary emission layer below the second emission layer, or a third auxiliary emission layer below the third emission layer.

10 . The display device of claim 9 , wherein an edge of the first emission layer and an edge of the first auxiliary emission layer are aligned, an edge of the second emission layer and an edge of the second auxiliary emission layer are aligned, and an edge of the third emission layer and an edge of the third auxiliary emission layer are aligned.
