Abstract

A display device featuring a touch detection and a fingerprint imaging functions is provided. A display device includes a light-emitting element and a light-receiving element. The light-emitting element includes a first pixel electrode, a light-emitting layer, and a common electrode, and the light-receiving element includes a second pixel electrode, an active layer, and the common electrode. The first pixel electrode and the second pixel electrode are provided on the same plane. The common electrode overlaps with the first pixel electrode with the light-emitting layer therebetween, and overlaps with the second pixel electrode with the active layer therebetween. A first conductive layer, a second conductive layer, and an insulating layer are provided above the common electrode. The insulating layer is provided above the first conductive layer, and the second conductive layer is provided above the insulating layer. The light-receiving element has a function of receiving light emitted from the light-emitting element.
