Display apparatus

1. A display apparatus, comprising:

a plurality of display cells each having a display circuit, a predetermined number of adjacent display cells composing a display pixel;

a plurality of light receiving cells each having a photosensor configured to receive light from an outside; and

a plurality of display signal lines, wherein,

said display cells and said light receiving cells are arranged in a row direction perpendicular to said display signal lines and in a column direction parallel with said display signal lines,

said light receiving cells in each row are (i) displaced in the row direction between light receiving cells in each adjacent row in a column direction and (ii) adjacent to at least one of a dummy black pixel and a reference cell pixel, wherein each dummy black pixel and reference cell pixel is formed with a black mask,

a pattern of a first unit which is composed of two display pixels and one light receiving cell sandwiched therebetween, and at least one of a second unit which is composed of two display pixels and one dummy black pixel sandwiched therebetwen and a third unit which is composed of two display pixels and one reference cell pixel sandwiched therebetween, is arranged repeatedly in the row direction, and

said first units in each row are displaced in the row direction between first units in each adjacent row in a column direction.

2. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, with respect to every two adjacent rows in the column direction, each of said light receiving cells in one of the two adjacent rows is placed at a midpoint location between two of said light receiving cells that are adjacent to each other in the row direction in the other of the two adjacent rows.

3. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, with respect to every two adjacent rows in the column direction, said light receiving cells in each row are placed in mutually opposite locations in the row direction.

4. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising

reference cell pixels arranged in addition to said display cells and said light receiving cells,

each of said reference cell pixels being arranged adjacent to at least one of said light receiving cells and having a photosensor configured to receive only reflected light within the display apparatus.

5. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising

dummy black pixels arranged in addition to said display cells and said light receiving cells,

each of said dummy black pixels being arranged adjacent to at least one of said light receiving cells and functioning as a dark section that does not emit light.

6. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a pitch Y of said light receiving cells in each row and an amount X of displacement in the row direction of said light receiving cells between every two adjacent rows in the column direction satisfy X=Y/α where α is an integer greater than 1.

7. A display apparatus, comprising:

a plurality of display cells each having a display circuit, a predetermined number of adjacent display cells composing a display pixel;

a plurality of light receiving cells each having a photosensor configured to receive light from an outside; and

a plurality of display signal lines, wherein,

said display cells and said light receiving cells are arranged in a row direction perpendicular to said display signal lines and in a column direction parallel with said display signal lines,

said light receiving cells in each column are (i) displaced in the column direction between light receiving cells in each adjacent column in a row direction and (ii) adjacent to at least one of a dummy black pixel and a reference cell pixel, wherein each dummy black pixel and reference cell pixel is formed with a black mask,

a pattern of a first unit which is composed of two display pixels and one light receiving cell sandwiched therebetween, and at least one of a second unit which is composed of two display pixels and one dummy black pixel sandwiched therebetween and a third unit which is composed of two display pixels and one reference cell pixel sandwiched therebetween, is arranged repeatedly in the column direction, and

said first units in each column are displaced in the column direction between first units in each adjacent row in a row direction.

8. The display apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein, with respect to every two adjacent columns in the row direction, each of said light receiving cells in one of the two adjacent columns is placed at a midpoint location between two of said light receiving cells that are adjacent to each other in the column direction in the other of the two adjacent columns.

9. The display apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein, with respect to every two adjacent columns in the row direction, said light receiving cells in each column are placed in mutually opposite locations in the column direction.

10. The display apparatus according to claim 7 , further comprising

reference cell pixels arranged in addition to said display cells and said light receiving cells,

each of said reference cell pixels being arranged adjacent to at least one of said light receiving cells and having a photosensor configured to receive only reflected light within the display apparatus.

11. The display apparatus according to claim 7 , further comprising

dummy black pixels arranged in addition to said display cells and said light receiving cells,

each of said dummy black pixels being arranged adjacent to at least one of said light receiving cells and functioning as a dark section that does not emit light.

12. The display apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein a pitch Y of said light receiving cells in each column and an amount X of displacement in the column direction of said light receiving cells between every two adjacent columns in the row direction satisfy X=Y/α where α is an integer greater than 1.
