摘要： Provided is a display device that includes an optical sensor having a high sensitivity in which a potential difference of an accumulation node due to an illuminance difference on a light receiving surface after boosting is set greater than a potential difference of the same at an end of an integration period. The display device includes an optical sensor in a pixel region. The optical sensor includes a diode D1; a reset signal line RST for supplying a reset signal; a readout signal line RWS for supplying a readout signal; an accumulation node having a potential (VINT) that varies with an amount of light received by the diode D1 during a period from supply of the reset signal to supply of the readout signal; an amplifying element C1 for amplifying VINT according to the readout signal; and a sensor switching element M2 for reading out the amplified potential and outputting the same to an output line. A potential of a light shielding film LS provided on a back side of the diode is fixed to a constant potential VLS satisfying the following formula: VLS≧VRST.H.

摘要： Dynamic range is widened in a display device with a photosensor that can read an image due to having a photodetection element inside a pixel thereof. A sensor driving circuit switches ON a reset signal (RST) that is supplied via reset signal bus line, and after a predetermined time has elapsed, switches ON a readout signal (RWS) that is supplied via readout signal bus line. Thus, in the photosensor, from which a photosensor signal is output in accordance with an amount of light received by the photosensor in the predetermined time, the capacitance of a capacitor provided in the photosensor is made variable from when the reset signal (RST) is supplied to the photosensor until when the predetermined time has elapsed.
