    Abstract: An optical sensor system includes a thin-film transistor (TFT) optical panel including an array of TFT pixels, a charge amplifier configured to temporarily store a charge received from a TFT pixel in the array of TFT pixels and generate a voltage based on the temporarily stored charge, an analog-to-digital converter to generate a digitized value based on the voltage, an accumulator configured to store the digitized value, and a controller circuit configured to cause the temporarily stored charge in the charge amplifier to be reset based on one of the voltage and the digitized value.

    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a sensor device comprises a sensor configured to output a sense signal, a value the sense signal changing over time based on incident light, a first reset circuit configured to set the value of the sense signal to a reset value when the value of the sense signal exceeds a threshold, a counter configured to count a first number of times of reset by the first reset circuit, and an arithmetic operation circuit configured to calculate an amount of incident light of a certain period based on the value of the sense signal, the reset value, and the first number of times of reset.
