Abstract:
A display device including a display panel including a display area including a fingerprint sensing area and a plurality of pixels provided in the fingerprint sensing area; a sensor layer provided on one surface of the display panel overlapping the fingerprint sensing area, the sensor layer including a plurality of photo sensors; a panel driving circuit configured to output a data signal corresponding to image data to the display panel, corresponding to a first mode, and to output a driving signal to the display panel to allow the pixels to emit lights in a form corresponding to a predetermined light pattern, corresponding to a second mode; and a fingerprint detecting circuit configured to receive sensing signals from the photo sensors, corresponding to the second mode, the fingerprint detecting circuit detecting a fingerprint of a user, based on a sensing signal corresponding to the light pattern among the received sensing signals.
