Abstract

A display device having a light detection function is provided. A highly convenient display device is provided. The display device includes a light-receiving element, a first light-emitting element, and a second light-emitting element in a display portion. The light-receiving element includes a first pixel electrode, an active layer, and a common electrode. The first light-emitting element includes a second pixel electrode, a first light-emitting layer, and the common electrode. The second light-emitting element includes a third pixel electrode, a second light-emitting layer, and the common electrode. The active layer includes an organic compound. The active layer is positioned between the first pixel electrode and the common electrode. The first light-emitting layer is positioned between the second pixel electrode and the common electrode. The second light-emitting layer is positioned between the third pixel electrode and the common electrode. The first light-emitting layer is further positioned between the first pixel electrode and the common electrode and/or between the third pixel electrode and the common electrode.
