Abstract

A light emitting display device includes a light emitting diode and a thin film transistor on a substrate, the light emitting diode and thin film transistor being electrically coupled to each other, and a photo diode on the substrate, the photo diode including an intrinsic region and a P-type doping region coupled to each other.

Claims (11)

1. A light emitting display device, comprising:

a light emitting diode and a thin film transistor on a substrate, the light emitting diode and thin film transistor being electrically coupled to each other; and

a photo diode on the substrate, the photo diode including an intrinsic region and a P-type doping region coupled to each other.

2. The light emitting display device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a first metal electrode coupled to the intrinsic region of the photo diode and a second metal electrode coupled to the P-type doping region of the photo diode, the first and second metal electrodes having a space therebetween.

3. The light emitting display device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein an upper surface of the intrinsic region of the photo diode overlaps the space between the first and second metal electrodes.

4. The light emitting display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the thin film transistor is a PMOS.

5. The light emitting display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the photo diode is spaced apart from the thin film transistor.

6. The light emitting display device as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the photo diode and the thin film transistor are co-planar along a plane parallel to a plane of the substrate.

7. The light emitting display device as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the P-type doping region and the intrinsic region of the photo diode are co-planar along a plane parallel to a plane of the substrate.

8. The light emitting display device as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the P-type doping region is between the thin film transistor and the intrinsic region.

9. The light emitting display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the photo diode consists essentially of the P-type doping region and the intrinsic region.
