Abstract: A display device having both a function of a touch sensor and a function of fingerprint recognition is provided. The display device includes a first display region and a second display region. The first display region and the second display region are provided in contact with each other. The first display region includes a plurality of first light-emitting elements and a plurality of first photodetectors. The second display region includes a plurality of second light-emitting elements and a plurality of second photodetectors. The first photodetector has a function of receiving first light emitted from the first light-emitting element. The second photodetector has a function of receiving second light emitted from the second light-emitting element. The first light-emitting elements and the first photodetectors are arranged in a matrix in the first display region. The second light-emitting elements and the second photodetectors are arranged in a matrix in the second display region. The second photodetectors are arranged in a higher density than the first photodetectors.

Abstract: An object is to provide a highly reliable display unit having a function of sensing light. The display unit includes a light-receiving device and a light-emitting device. The light-receiving device includes an active layer between a pair of electrodes. The light-emitting device includes a hole-injection layer, a light-emitting layer, and an electron-transport layer between a pair of electrodes. The light-receiving device and the light-emitting device share one of the electrodes, and may further share another common layer between the pair of electrodes. The hole-injection layer is in contact with an anode and contains a first compound and a second compound. The electron-transport property of the electron-transport layer is low; hence, the light-emitting layer is less likely to have excess electrons. Here, the first compound is the material having a property of accepting electrons from the second compound.
