Abstract

A display device having a function of sensing light is provided. A highly convenient display device is provided. The display device includes a first substrate, a second substrate, a light-receiving element, a transistor, and a light-emitting element in a display portion. The light-receiving element, the transistor, and the light-emitting element are each positioned between the first substrate and the second substrate. The light-receiving element is positioned closer to the first substrate than the transistor is. The light-emitting element is positioned closer to the second substrate than the transistor is. The light-receiving element includes a layer containing an organic compound. The transistor is electrically connected to the light-emitting element. The display device preferably further includes a lens and light transmitted through the lens preferably enters the light-receiving element.
