Display with pseudo photo sensor
View Patent ↗A display capable of performing ambient light detection with a high accuracy is provided. The display device is a display device having a backlight and a photo sensor for detecting ambient light and outputting a photocurrent according to an intensity of the ambient light, and further including a light-shielding member disposed below the photo-sensor for shielding light from the backlight; and a pseudo photo sensor disposed above the light-shielding member around the photo sensor. The pseudo photo sensor is made of the same material as the photo sensor, and formed in the same process as the photo sensor.
1. A display device having a backlight and a photo sensor for detecting ambient light and outputting a photocurrent according to an intensity of the ambient light, and further comprising:
a light-shielding member disposed below the photo sensor for shielding light from the backlight; and
a pseudo photo sensor disposed above the light-shielding member and disposed to surround and be spaced apart from the photo sensor;
wherein the pseudo photo sensor is made of the same material as the photo sensor, is formed in the same process as the photo sensor, and absorbs light and does not delete light.
2. The display device according to claim 1 wherein the pseudo photo sensor is an amorphous diode or an LTPS photo-diode.
3. The display device according to claim 1 wherein the display device is a transparent or semi-transparent display.
4. An electronic apparatus comprising a display device as recited in claim 1 .
5. An electronic apparatus comprising a display device as recited in claim 2 .
6. An electronic apparatus comprising a display device as recited in claim 3 .
