摘要:
By reducing the potential drop of a storage node that occurs due to feedthrough, the capacitance of a storage capacitor is reduced and sensor sensitivity is improved. In a photosensor, the first terminal of a storage capacitor (C2) and the gate of a MOS transistor (M1), which outputs a signal in accordance with the potential of a storage node (N2), are connected to the storage node (N2). A forward biased pulse voltage is supplied to the anode of a first photodiode (DS) in a reset period, and a reverse biased voltage is supplied to the anode of the first photodiode in a storage period and a readout period. A reverse biased voltage is supplied to the anode of a second photodiode (DM) in all operation periods. A voltage that keeps the potential of the storage node lower than the threshold value of the MOS transistor (M1) is supplied to the second terminal of the storage capacitor in the reset period and the storage period, and a voltage that thrusts the potential of the storage node (N2) upward to the threshold value of the MOS transistor (M1) or higher is supplied to the second terminal of the storage capacitor in the readout period.

Detection signals of respective photo sensor circuits (senS, senD, senON, and senOFF) are activated so as to be output at once for each group of prescribed plural number of sensor rows (LSk) by a row driver (6). Within the prescribed number of sensor rows (LSk), photo sensor circuits (senS, senD, senON, and senOFF) sharing the same power line (SL2, SL5, . . . ) between at least two different sensor rows (LSk) are included. The detection signals of the respective photo sensor circuits (senS, senD, senON, and senOFF) in the prescribed number of sensor rows (senS, senD, senON, and senOFF) are output via mutually different output lines (SL1/SL3, SL4/SL6, . . . ).

摘要:
A plurality of sensor circuits each including an optical sensor and a charge retention transistor each provided between a reset line and an accumulation node are arranged in a pixel region of a display device. In a sensing period, a LOW-level voltage is applied as a reset cancellation voltage to the reset line RSTa, and a HIGH-level voltage is applied to a control line CLKa to control the charge retention transistor to be in an ON state. In a period other than the sensing period, the LOW-level voltage is applied to the control line CLKa to control the charge retention transistor to be in an OFF state, and the HIGH-level voltage is applied as a retention voltage to the reset line RSTa. Thus, a drain-source voltage Vds of the charge retention transistor is lowered, a leakage current through the charge retention transistor is reduced, and a light detection accuracy is enhanced. A substantially middle voltage between a reset voltage and a voltage at an accumulation node at the sensing of a maximum amount of light may be used as the retention voltage.

A display device includes a photosensor (81) in a pixel region (1) of an active matrix substrate (100). The photosensor (81) includes a photodetection element, reset signal wiring that supplies a reset signal RS to the photosensor (81), readout signal wiring that supplies a readout signal RW to the photosensor (81), and a sensor switching element for reading out the potential of the storage node to output wiring as sensor circuit output, the potential of the storage node having changed in accordance with the amount of light received by the photodetection element in a sensing period, the sensing period being from when the reset signal is supplied until when the readout signal is supplied. The potential of wiring having a parasitic capacitance with the storage node is fixed to a predetermined potential V0 at least either one of immediately before the readout signal RW and immediately before the reset signal RS.
