Abstract

A display device having an image capturing function is provided. The display device includes a first pixel and a second pixel. The first pixel includes a light-emitting device. The second pixel includes a light-receiving device and a lens. The light-emitting device and the light-receiving device share an electrode. The lens and the light-receiving device include a region overlapping with each other. The width of the lens is greater than the width of a light-receiving portion of the light-receiving device. The cross-sectional shape of the lens in a thickness direction including an optical axis is a substantial trapezoid. The surface including a leg of the substantially trapezoidal shape has a convex shape. The surface including an upper base of the substantially trapezoidal shape and the light-receiving portion are provided to face each other. The first pixel and the second pixel are provided to be adjacent to each other.

Claims (47)

1. A display device comprising:
