Abstract:
According to an example embodiment, a light-sensing apparatus may include an array of light-sensing pixels, a first gate driver, and a signal output unit. Each of the light-sensing pixels may include a light sensor transistor configured to sense light, a switch transistor configured to output a light-sensing signal from the light sensor transistor, and a conductive light-shielding film on a light-incident surface of the switch transistor. The light sensor transistor and the switch transistor may have the same oxide semiconductor transistor structure. The first gate driver may be configured to provide a gate voltage and a negative bias voltage to each of the light-sensing pixels. The signal output unit may be configured to receive the light-sensing signal from each of the light-sensing pixels and output a data signal.
