Abstract

A display apparatus includes: at least one pixel section including a display cell that has a pixel electrode and a light-receiving cell that has a light-receiving element; and a shielding electric conductor configured to electrically shield the pixel electrode on the side of the display cell from the light-receiving element. The shielding electric conductor is formed between the pixel electrode and the light-receiving element and has a fixed potential.

Claims (10)

1. A display apparatus comprising:

at least one pixel section including a display cell that has a pixel electrode and a light-receiving cell that has a light-receiving element;

a shielding electric conductor configured to electrically shield the light-receiving element from the pixel electrode on the side of the display cell, the shielding electric conductor being formed below the light-receiving element and having a fixed potential; and

a second shielding electric conductor configured to electrically shield a light-receiving signal line that is connected to the light-receiving cell and transmits a light-receiving signal generated from light received by the light-receiving element from the pixel electrode on the side of the display cell, the second shielding electric conductor being formed above the light-receiving signal line and having a fixed potential.

2. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the shielding electric conductor is formed using an electroconductive film.

3. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the second shielding electric conductor is formed using an electroconductive film.

4. A display apparatus comprising:

a plurality of pixel sections arranged in a matrix form each including a display cell and a light-receiving cell, the display cell including a pixel electrode and a thin-film transistor configured to operatively connect the pixel electrode and a signal line in response to a scanning pulse applied to a gate electrode, the light-receiving cell including a light-receiving element and being connected to a light-receiving signal line through which a light-receiving signal generated from light received by the light-receiving element is transmitted; and

a shielding electric conductor configured to electrically shield the light-receiving element and/or the light-receiving signal line from the pixel electrode on the side of the display cell, the shielding electric conductor being formed below the light-receiving element and the light-receiving signal line and having a fixed potential;

a second shielding electric conductor configured to electrically shield the light-receiving signal line that is connected to the light-receiving cell and transmits a light-receiving signal generated from light received by the light-receiving element from the pixel electrode on the side of the display cell, the second shielding electric conductor being formed above the light-receiving element and the light-receiving signal line and having a fixed potential.
