Abstract

The present invention discloses an image display with photo sensor, electrically connected to a data line, a first scan line, a second scan line and a sensing line, and being powered by a first bias voltage and a second bias voltage, comprising a light emitting element, a first transistor, a second transistor, a third transistor, a photo sensor and a capacitor, which is featuring by arranging photo sensors in the proximity of light emitting elements so as to enable the image display with photo sensor to act as an output device for displaying images and also as an input device for detecting light.

Claims (11)

1. An image display with photo sensor composed of a plurality of pixels, each pixel being electrically connected to a data line, a first scan line, a second scan line and a sensing line, and being powered by a first bias voltage, a second bias voltage and a third bias voltage, comprising:

a light emitting element;

a first transistor, further comprising: a first gate, electrically connected to the first scan line; and a first drain/source, having a first electrode electrically connected to the data line and a second electrode;

a second transistor, further comprising: a second gate, electrically connected to the second electrode of the first drain/source; and a second drain/source, having a third electrode electrically connected to the first bias voltage and a fourth electrode electrically connected to the light emitting element in a forward bias manner;

a third transistor, further comprising a third gate, electrically connected to the second scan line; and a third drain/source, having a fifth electrode electrically connected to the data line and a sixth electrode;

a fourth transistor, further comprising a fourth gate; and a fourth drain/source, having a seventh electrode electrically connected to the sensing line and an eighth electrode electrically connected to the third bias voltage;

a photo sensor, have two terminals, one of the two terminals being electrically connected the second bias voltage in a reverse bias manner while another terminal being electrically connected to the fourth gate and the sixth electrode of the third drain/source; and

a capacitor, having two terminals, one of the two terminals being electrically connected to the first bias voltage while another terminal being electrically connected to the second gate and the second electrode of the first drain/source.
