Abstract

A display device is disclosed, which includes: a substrate; a first metal layer, disposed on the substrate and having a first pinhole; a second metal layer, disposed on the first metal layer and having a second pinhole; a pixel electrode layer, disposed on the second metal layer; and a light detecting element for detecting a light passing through the second pinhole and the first pinhole.

Claims (29)
