Abstract

Provided is a display device comprising a display panel including a plurality of pixels, one of the pixels includes a light emitting device, which is connected with a reference node to emit light, and a driving transistor connected between a power line, which is to receive a power supply voltage, and the reference node. a scan transistor, which is connected between a data line to receive a data signal and the driving transistor and receives a scan signal, a light receiving device, which is connected between a bias line to receive a bias voltage and the reference node, and receives the light, and a masking transistor which is connected between the reference node and the light receiving device and receives a masking signal.

Claims (40)

1. A display device comprising:

a display panel including a plurality of pixels,

wherein each of the pixels includes:

a light emitting device connected with a reference node to emit light;

a driving transistor connected between a power line for receiving a power supply voltage and the reference node;

a scan transistor connected between a data line for receiving a data signal and the driving transistor, and configured to receive a scan signal;

a light receiving device connected between a bias line for receiving a bias voltage and the reference node, and configured to receive the light; and

a masking transistor connected between the reference node and the light receiving device and configured to receive a masking signal.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the light receiving device includes:

a correcting transistor having a first electrode connected with the bias line, a second electrode connected with the masking transistor, and a control electrode connected with the bias line.

3. The display device of claim 2 , wherein the masking transistor includes:

a first electrode connected with the second electrode of the correcting transistor, a second electrode connected with the reference node, and a control electrode to receive the masking signal.

4. The display device of claim 2 , wherein the light emitting device is connected between a common electrode for receiving a common voltage and the reference node, and

wherein the common voltage serves as the bias voltage and is supplied to the correcting transistor.

5. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the driving transistor includes:

a first electrode connected with the reference node;

a second electrode connected with the power line; and

a control electrode connected with the scan transistor, and
