[0084] The first transistor T1 is connected between the first driving voltage line VL1 receiving the first driving voltage ELVDD and the light emitting element ED. The first transistor T1 includes a first electrode connected to the first driving voltage line VL1 via a fifth transistor T5, a second electrode connected to the anode of the light emitting element ED via a sixth transistor T6, and a third electrode (e.g., a gate electrode) connected to one end (e.g., a first node N1) of the capacitor Cst. The first transistor T1 can receive the i-th data signal Di transmitted by the i-th data line DLi according to the switching operation of the second transistor T2, and supply the driving current Id to the light emitting element ED.
[0085] The second transistor T2 is connected between the i-th data line DLi and the first electrode of the first transistor T1. The second transistor T2 includes a first electrode connected to the i-th data line DLi, a second electrode connected to the first electrode of the first transistor T1, and a third electrode (e.g., a gate electrode) connected to the j-th write scan line SWLj. The second transistor T2 may be turned on according to the j-th write scan signal SWj transmitted through the j-th write scan line SWLj, and may transmit the i-th data signal Di transmitted from the i-th data line DLi to the first electrode of the first transistor T1.
[0086] The third transistor T3 is connected between the second electrode of the first transistor T1 and the first node N1. The third transistor T3 includes a first electrode connected to the third electrode of the first transistor T1, a second electrode connected to the second electrode of the first transistor T1, and a third electrode (e.g., a gate electrode) connected to the j-th compensation scan line SCLj. The third transistor T3 may be turned on according to the j-th compensation scan signal SCj transmitted through the j-th compensation scan line SCLj, may connect the third electrode and the second electrode of the first transistor T1 to each other, and thus may diode-connect the first transistor T1.
[0087] The fourth transistor T4 is connected between the first initialization voltage line VIL to which the first initialization voltage Vint is applied and the first node N1. The fourth transistor T4 includes a first electrode connected to the first initialization voltage line VIL to which the first initialization voltage Vint is transmitted, a second electrode connected to the first node N1, and a third electrode (e.g., a gate electrode) connected to the jth initialization scan line SILj. The fourth transistor T4 is turned on according to the jth initialization scan signal SIj transmitted through the jth initialization scan line SILj. The turned-on fourth transistor T4 transmits the first initialization voltage Vint to the first node N1, and initializes the potential of the third electrode of the first transistor T1 (i.e., the potential of the first node N1).
[0088] The fifth transistor T5 includes a first electrode connected to the first driving voltage line VL1, a second electrode connected to the first electrode of the first transistor T1, and a third electrode (eg, a gate electrode) connected to the j-th emission control line EMLj.
[0089] The sixth transistor T6 includes a first electrode connected to the second electrode of the first transistor T1, a second electrode connected to the anode of the light emitting element ED, and a third electrode (eg, a gate electrode) connected to the j-th light emitting control line EMLj.
[0090] According to the jth emission control signal EMj transmitted through the jth emission control line EMLj, the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 are synchronously turned on. The first driving voltage ELVDD applied through the turned-on fifth transistor T5 may be compensated by the diode-connected first transistor T1 and then may be transmitted to the light emitting element ED.
[0091] The seventh transistor T7 includes a first electrode connected to a second initialization voltage line VAIL to which a second initialization voltage Vaint is transmitted, a second electrode connected to a second electrode of the sixth transistor T6, and a third electrode (e.g., a gate electrode) connected to a j-th black scan line SBLj. The second initialization voltage Vaint may have a voltage level lower than or equal to the first initialization voltage Vint.
[0092] The eighth transistor T8 includes a first electrode connected to a bias voltage line VBL transmitting a bias voltage Vbias, a second electrode connected to the first electrode of the first transistor T1, and a third electrode (eg, a gate electrode) connected to a j-th black scan line SBLj.
[0093] The seventh transistor T7 and the eighth transistor T8 are synchronously turned on according to the jth black scan signal SBj transmitted through the jth black scan line SBLj. The second initialization voltage Vaint applied by the turned-on seventh transistor T7 can be transmitted to the anode of the light emitting element ED. Therefore, the anode of the light emitting element ED can be initialized by the second initialization voltage Vaint. The bias voltage Vbias applied by the turned-on eighth transistor T8 can be transmitted to the first electrode of the first transistor T1. Therefore, the bias voltage Vbias can be periodically applied to the first electrode of the first transistor T1. As a result, the degradation of the display quality caused by the potential difference between the first electrode and the second electrode of the first transistor T1 increasing to a level (e.g., a set or predetermined level) or more due to the hysteresis phenomenon can be prevented or reduced.
[0094] As described above, one end of the capacitor Cst is connected to the third electrode of the first transistor T1, and the other end of the capacitor Cst is connected to the first driving voltage line VL1. The cathode of the light emitting element ED may be connected to the second driving voltage line VL2 transmitting the second driving voltage ELVSS. The voltage level of the second driving voltage ELVSS may be lower than the voltage level of the first driving voltage ELVDD. As an example of the present disclosure, the second driving voltage ELVSS may have a voltage level lower than the voltage levels of the first initialization voltage Vint and the second initialization voltage Vaint.
[0095] Reference Figure 4A and Figure 4B , the j-th light emitting control signal EMj has a high level during the non-emission period NEP. In the non-emission period NEP, the j-th initialization scan signal SIj is activated. When the j-th initialization scan signal SIj having a high level is provided through the j-th initialization scan line SILj during the activation period AP1 (hereinafter, referred to as the first activation period AP1) of the j-th initialization scan signal SIj, the fourth transistor T4 is turned on in response to the j-th initialization scan signal SIj having a high level. The first initialization voltage Vint is transmitted to the third electrode of the first transistor T1 through the turned-on fourth transistor T4, and the first node N1 is initialized by the first initialization voltage Vint. Therefore, the first activation period AP1 can be defined as a period for initializing the pixel PXij.
[0096] Next, when the j-th compensation scan signal SCj is activated, and when the j-th compensation scan signal SCj having a high level is provided through the j-th compensation scan line SCLj during an activation period AP2 (hereinafter, referred to as a second activation period AP2) of the j-th compensation scan signal SCj, the third transistor T3 is turned on. The first transistor T1 is diode-connected through the turned-on third transistor T3 and is forward biased. The first activation period AP1 may not overlap with the second activation period AP2.
[0097] The jth write scan signal SWj is activated in the second activation period AP2. The jth write scan signal SWj has a low level during the activation period AP4 (hereinafter, referred to as the fourth activation period AP4). During the fourth activation period AP4, the second transistor T2 is turned on by the jth write scan signal SWj having a low level. Then, the compensation voltage Di-Vth obtained by subtracting the threshold voltage Vth of the first transistor T1 from the i-th data signal Di supplied from the i-th data line DLi is applied to the third electrode of the first transistor T1. That is, the potential of the third electrode of the first transistor T1 may be the compensation voltage Di-Vth. The fourth activation period AP4 may overlap with the second activation period AP2. The duration of the second activation period AP2 may be greater than the duration of the fourth activation period AP4.
[0098] The first driving voltage ELVDD and the compensation voltage Di-Vth may be applied to both ends of the capacitor Cst, and charges corresponding to the voltages therebetween may be stored in the capacitor Cst. Here, the high level period of the jth compensation scan signal SCj may be referred to as a compensation period of the pixel PXij.
[0099] At the same time, the jth black scan signal SBj is activated in the second activation period AP2 of the jth compensation scan signal SCj. The jth black scan signal SBj has a low level during the activation period AP3 (hereinafter, referred to as the third activation period AP3). During the third activation period AP3, the seventh transistor T7 is turned on by receiving the jth black scan signal SBj having a low level via the jth black scan line SBLj. Through the seventh transistor T7, a portion of the drive current Id that is the bypass current Ibp can escape through the seventh transistor T7. The third activation period AP3 may overlap with the second activation period AP2. The duration of the second activation period AP2 may be greater than the duration of the third activation period AP3. The third activation period AP3 may be before the fourth activation period AP4 and may not overlap with the fourth activation period AP4.
[0100] When the pixel PXij displays a black image, even when the minimum driving current of the first transistor T1 flows as the driving current Id, the light emitting element ED may also emit a light beam, and therefore the pixel PXij cannot display a black image normally. Therefore, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the seventh transistor T7 inside the pixel PXij can disperse the part of the minimum driving current of the first transistor T1, which is the bypass current Ibp, to a current path other than the current path toward the light emitting element ED. Here, the minimum driving current of the first transistor T1 refers to the current flowing to the first transistor T1 under the condition that the gate-source voltage Vgs of the first transistor T1 is less than the threshold voltage Vth and the first transistor T1 is therefore turned off. In this way, when the first transistor T1 is turned off, the minimum driving current (e.g., a current of 10pA or less) flowing to the first transistor T1 is transferred to the light emitting element ED, and a black grayscale image is displayed. When the pixel PXij displays a black image, the influence of the bypass current Ibp on the minimum driving current is relatively large. However, when the pixel PXij displays an image such as a normal image or a white image, there is almost no influence of the bypass current Ibp on the drive current Id. Therefore, when the pixel PXij displays a black image, a current (i.e., a light emitting current Ied) is provided that reduces the amount of current of the bypass current Ibp escaping through the seventh transistor T7 from the drive current Id, and thus a black image can be reliably represented. Therefore, the pixel PXij can realize an accurate black grayscale image using the seventh transistor T7, and as a result, the contrast can be improved.
[0101] Next, the j-th light emitting control signal EMj supplied from the j-th light emitting control line EMLj changes from a high level to a low level. The fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 are turned on by the j-th light emitting control signal EMj having a low level. Then, a driving current Id according to a voltage difference between a voltage of the third electrode of the first transistor T1 and the first driving voltage ELVDD is generated, and the driving current Id is supplied to the light emitting element ED through the sixth transistor T6, so that the light emitting current Ied flows to the light emitting element ED.
[0102] Return to reference Figure 4A The sensor FXdj is connected to the dth readout line RLd, the jth write scan line SWLj, and the reset control line SRL among the readout lines RL1 to RLh.
[0103] The sensor FXdj includes a light receiving element OPD and a sensor driving circuit O_SD. As an example of the present disclosure, the light receiving element OPD may be an organic photodiode including an organic material as a photoelectric conversion layer. Figure 4AAn example of a structure in which the sensor FXdj includes one light receiving element is shown, but the embodiment according to the present disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the sensor FXdj may include a plurality of light receiving elements OPD connected in parallel to each other.
[0104] The anode of the light receiving element OPD may be connected to the first sensing node SN1, and the cathode of the light receiving element OPD may be connected to the second driving voltage line VL2 transmitting the second driving voltage ELVSS. The cathode of the light receiving element OPD may be electrically connected to the cathode of the light emitting element ED. As an example of the present disclosure, the cathode of the light receiving element OPD and the cathode of the light emitting element ED may be integrally formed to form a common cathode C_CE (see Figure 6 ).
[0105] The sensor driving circuit O_SD includes three transistors ST1 to ST3. The three transistors ST1 to ST3 may include a reset transistor ST1, an amplifying transistor ST2, and an output transistor ST3. At least one of the reset transistor ST1, the amplifying transistor ST2, and the output transistor ST3 may be an oxide semiconductor transistor. As an example of the present disclosure, the reset transistor ST1 may be an oxide semiconductor transistor, and the amplifying transistor ST2 and the output transistor ST3 may be LTPS transistors. However, according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, it is not particularly limited thereto, and at least the reset transistor ST1 and the output transistor ST3 may be oxide semiconductor transistors, and the amplifying transistor ST2 may be an LTPS transistor.
[0106] In addition, some of the reset transistor ST1, the amplifying transistor ST2, and the output transistor ST3 may be P-type transistors, and the others of the reset transistor ST1, the amplifying transistor ST2, and the output transistor ST3 may be N-type transistors. As an example of the present disclosure, the amplifying transistor ST2 and the output transistor ST3 may be P-channel metal oxide semiconductor (PMOS) transistors, and the reset transistor ST1 may be an NMOS transistor. However, according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, it is not particularly limited to this, and the reset transistor ST1, the amplifying transistor ST2, and the output transistor ST3 may all be N-type transistors or may all be P-type transistors.
[0107] Some of the reset transistor ST1, the amplifying transistor ST2, and the output transistor ST3 (e.g., the reset transistor ST1) may be the same transistor as the third transistor T3 and the fourth transistor T4 of the pixel PXij. The amplifying transistor ST2 and the output transistor ST3 may be the same transistor as the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, and the fifth transistor T5 to the eighth transistor T8 of the pixel PXij.
[0108] The circuit configuration of the sensor driving circuit O_SD according to the present disclosure is not limited to Figure 4A. Figure 4A The sensor driving circuit O_SD shown in FIG. 1 is merely an example, and the configuration of the sensor driving circuit O_SD may be modified and implemented.
[0109] The reset transistor ST1 includes a first electrode receiving a reset voltage Vrst, a second electrode connected to the first sensing node SN1, and a third electrode receiving a reset control signal SR. The reset transistor ST1 may reset the potential of the first sensing node SN1 to the reset voltage Vrst in response to the reset control signal SR. The reset control signal SR may be a signal provided by a reset control line SRL. However, the embodiments according to the present disclosure are not particularly limited thereto. Alternatively, the reset control signal SR may be a jth compensation scan signal SCj supplied by a jth compensation scan line SCLj. That is, the reset transistor ST1 may receive the jth compensation scan signal SCj supplied from the jth compensation scan line SCLj as the reset control signal SR. As an example of the present disclosure, at least during the activation period of the reset control signal SR, the reset voltage Vrst may have a voltage level lower than the second drive voltage ELVSS. The reset voltage Vrst may be transmitted to the sensor FXdj through the reset voltage line VRL. The reset voltage Vrst may be a direct current (DC) voltage maintained at a voltage level lower than the second drive voltage ELVSS.
[0110] The reset transistor ST1 may include a plurality of sub-reset transistors connected in series to each other. For example, the reset transistor ST1 may include two sub-reset transistors (hereinafter, referred to as a first sub-reset transistor and a second sub-reset transistor). In this case, a third electrode of the first sub-reset transistor and a third electrode of the second sub-reset transistor are connected to a reset control line SRL. In addition, a second electrode of the first sub-reset transistor and a first electrode of the second sub-reset transistor may be electrically connected to each other. In addition, a reset voltage Vrst may be applied to a first electrode of the first sub-reset transistor, and a second electrode of the second sub-reset transistor may be electrically connected to the first sensing node SN1. However, the number of sub-reset transistors is not limited thereto, and various modifications may be made.
[0111] The amplifier transistor ST2 includes a first electrode receiving a sensing drive voltage SLVD, a second electrode connected to the second sensing node SN2, and a third electrode connected to the first sensing node SN1. The amplifier transistor ST2 can be turned on according to the potential of the first sensing node SN1 to apply the sensing drive voltage SLVD to the second sensing node SN2. As an example of the present disclosure, the sensing drive voltage SLVD can be one of the first driving voltage ELVDD and the first initialization voltage Vint and the second initialization voltage Vaint. When the sensing drive voltage SLVD is the first driving voltage ELVDD, the first electrode of the amplifier transistor ST2 can be electrically connected to the first driving voltage line VL1. When the sensing drive voltage SLVD is the first initialization voltage Vint, the first electrode of the amplifier transistor ST2 can be electrically connected to the first initialization voltage line VIL, and when the sensing drive voltage SLVD is the second initialization voltage Vaint, the first electrode of the amplifier transistor ST2 can be electrically connected to the second initialization voltage line VAIL.
[0112] The output transistor ST3 includes a first electrode connected to the second sensing node SN2, a second electrode connected to the dth readout line RLd, and a third electrode receiving an output control signal. The output transistor ST3 may transmit the detection signal FSd to the dth readout line RLd in response to the output control signal. The output control signal may be the jth write scan signal SWj supplied through the jth write scan line SWLj. That is, the output transistor ST3 may receive the jth write scan signal SWj supplied from the jth write scan line SWLj as the output control signal.
[0113] The light receiving element OPD of the sensor FXdj may be exposed to the light beam during the light emission period of the light emitting element ED. The light beam may be a light beam output from the light emitting element ED.
[0114] When the user's hand US_F (see Figure 1 ) Touch the display surface IS (see Figure 1), the light receiving element OPD generates a photocharge corresponding to the light beam reflected by the ridge of the fingerprint or the valley between the ridges. The amount of current flowing through the light receiving element OPD changes according to the generated photocharge. When the light receiving element OPD receives the light beam reflected by the ridge of the fingerprint, the current flowing through the light receiving element OPD may be referred to as a first current, and when the light receiving element OPD receives the light beam reflected by the valley of the fingerprint, the current flowing through the light receiving element OPD may be referred to as a second current. Since the amount of the light beam reflected by the ridge of the fingerprint is different from the amount of the light beam reflected by the valley of the fingerprint, the difference between the amounts of the light beams corresponds to the difference between the first current and the second current. When the first current flows through the light receiving element OPD, the potential of the first sensing node SN1 may be referred to as a first potential, and when the second current flows through the light receiving element OPD, the potential of the first sensing node SN1 may be referred to as a second potential. As an example of the present disclosure, the first current may be greater than the second current, and in this case, the first potential may be lower than the second potential.
[0115] The amplifying transistor ST2 may be a source follower amplifier that generates a source-drain current proportional to the potential of the first sensing node SN1 input to the third electrode.
[0116] During the fourth activation period AP4, the jth write scan signal SWj having a low level is supplied to the output transistor ST3 through the jth write scan line SWLj. When the output transistor ST3 is turned on in response to the jth write scan signal SWj having a low level, the detection signal FSd corresponding to the current flowing through the amplifying transistor ST2 may be output to the dth readout line RLd.
[0117] Next, when the reset control signal SR having a high level is supplied through the reset control line SRL during the reset period, the reset transistor ST1 is turned on. The reset period may be defined as an activation period (i.e., a high level period) of the reset control line SRL. Alternatively, when the reset transistor ST1 is a P-type transistor, during the reset period, a reset control signal SR having a low level may be supplied to the reset control line SRL. During the reset period, the first sensing node SN1 may be reset to a potential corresponding to the reset voltage Vrst. As an example of the present disclosure, the reset voltage Vrst may have a voltage level lower than the voltage level of the second drive voltage ELVSS.
[0118] Next, when the reset period is terminated, the light receiving element OPD may generate photo charges corresponding to the received light beam, and the generated photo charges may be accumulated in the first sensing node SN1.
[0119] Figure 5 is a plan view of a display panel according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. However, for the convenience of description, the scan lines and the readout lines are omitted, and Figure 5Only the data lines are shown.
[0120] Reference Figure 5 The display panel DP includes a display area DA and a non-display area NDA. A plurality of pixels PX are arranged in the display area DA (see Figure 3 ) and multiple sensor FX (see Figure 3 ). A driving chip DIC and a first sensor chip SIC1 and a second sensor chip SIC2 are mounted on the non-display area NDA.
[0121] Data lines DL1 to DLm (see Figure 3 ) are connected to a plurality of pixels PX in the display area DA, and are connected to a driving chip DIC in the non-display area NDA. Figure 3 ) is connected to a plurality of sensors FX in the display area DA, and is connected to a first sensor chip SIC1 and a second sensor chip SIC2 in the non-display area NDA.
[0122] The data lines DL1 to DLm may be classified into a first group and a second group. The first group includes a plurality of first data lines DL_G1, and the second group includes a plurality of second data lines DL_G2. The plurality of first data lines DL_G1 are arranged in a first direction DR1, and the plurality of second data lines DL_G2 are arranged in the first direction DR1.

The first area A1 includes a (1-1)th area A1-1 defined on a first side relative to a center line parallel to a second direction DR2 of the display panel DP and a (1-2)th area A1-2 defined on a second side relative to the center line. The second area A2 includes a (2-1)th area A2-1 positioned between the (1-1)th area A1-1 and the non-display area NDA, and a (2-2)th area A2-2 positioned between the (1-2)th area A1-2 and the non-display area NDA.

[0125] The (1-1)th data lines DL1-11 to DL1-13 and the (1-2)th data lines DL1-21 to DL1-23 are connected to the driving chip DIC (or the data driver 200 (see Figure 3 )). Figure 5 It is shown that the (1-1)th data lines DL1-11 to DL1-13 and the (1-2)th data lines DL1-21 to DL1-23 are connected to the same driver chip DIC, but the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. For example, the (1-1)th data lines DL1-11 to DL1-13 and the (1-2)th data lines DL1-21 to DL1-23 may be connected to different driver chips.
[0126] The display panel DP also includes data connection lines connecting the second data line DL_G2 to the driving chip DIC. The data connection lines include a plurality of vertical data connection lines V_DCL extending along the first data line DL_G1 and a plurality of horizontal data connection lines H_DCL extending in a first direction DR1 (eg, horizontal data connection lines H_DCL1 and H_DCL2).
[0127] The plurality of horizontal data link lines H_DCL include first horizontal data link lines H_DCL11 to H_DCL13 and second horizontal data link lines H_DCL21 to H_DCL23. The first horizontal data link lines H_DCL11 to H_DCL13 are connected to the (2-1)th data lines DL2-11 to DL2-13, and the second horizontal data link lines H_DCL21 to H_DCL23 are connected to the (2-2)th data lines DL2-21 to DL2-23. The plurality of vertical data link lines V_DCL include first vertical data link lines V_DCL11 to V_DCL13 and second vertical data link lines V_DCL21 to V_DCL23. The first vertical data link lines V_DCL11 to V_DCL13 are connected to the first horizontal data link lines H_DCL11 to H_DCL13 , and the second vertical data link lines V_DCL21 to V_DCL23 are connected to the second horizontal data link lines H_DCL21 to H_DCL23 .
[0128] Therefore, the first vertical data link lines V_DCL11 to V_DCL13 are electrically connected to the (2-1)th data lines DL2-11 to DL2-13 through the first horizontal data link lines H_DCL11 to H_DCL13. The second vertical data link lines V_DCL21 to V_DCL23 are electrically connected to the (2-2)th data lines DL2-21 to DL2-23 through the second horizontal data link lines H_DCL21 to H_DCL23.
[0129] The first vertical data link lines V_DCL11 to V_DCL13 and the (1-1)th data lines DL1-11 to DL1-13 are alternately and repeatedly arranged in the (1-1)th region A1-1. The second vertical data link lines V_DCL21 to V_DCL23 and the (1-2)th data lines DL1-21 to DL1-23 are alternately and repeatedly arranged in the (1-2)th region A1-2.
[0130] Some portions of the vertical data link lines V_DCL and the plurality of horizontal data link lines H_DCL may be arranged in the display area DA. That is, some portions of the data link lines for connecting the second data line DL_G2 and the driving chip DIC are arranged inside the display area DA. Therefore, the area of the region occupied by the data link lines inside the non-display area NDA may be reduced, and as a result, the area of the dead zone of the display panel DP may be reduced.
[0131] Figure 6 is a cross-sectional view of a display panel according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0132] Reference Figure 6 , the display panel DP may include a base layer BL, a circuit layer DP_CL and an element layer DP_ED.
[0133] The base layer BL may include a synthetic resin layer. The synthetic resin layer may include a thermosetting resin. In particular, the synthetic resin layer may be a polyimide resin layer, and the material of the synthetic resin layer is not particularly limited. The synthetic resin layer may include at least one of acrylic resin, methacrylic resin, polyisoprene, vinyl resin, epoxy resin, urethane resin, cellulose resin, siloxane resin, polyamide resin, and naphthalene resin. In addition, the base layer BL may include a glass substrate, a metal substrate, an organic / inorganic composite material substrate, or the like.
[0134] At least one inorganic layer is formed on the upper surface of the base layer BL. The inorganic layer may include at least one of aluminum oxide, titanium oxide, silicon oxide, silicon oxynitride, zirconium oxide, and hafnium oxide. The multiple inorganic layers may constitute a barrier layer BRL and / or a buffer layer BFL to be described below. The barrier layer BRL and the buffer layer BFL may be selectively arranged.
[0135] The circuit layer DP_CL may include a barrier layer BRL and / or a buffer layer BFL. The barrier layer BRL prevents or reduces the inflow of foreign matter or contaminants from the outside. The barrier layer BRL may include a silicon oxide layer and a silicon nitride layer. Each of the silicon oxide layer and the silicon nitride layer may be provided in plural, and the silicon oxide layer and the silicon nitride layer may be alternately stacked.
[0136] The buffer layer BFL may be positioned on the barrier layer BRL. The buffer layer BFL improves the coupling force between the base layer BL and the semiconductor pattern and / or the conductive pattern. The buffer layer BFL may include a silicon oxide layer and a silicon nitride layer. The silicon oxide layer and the silicon nitride layer may be alternately stacked.
[0137] The semiconductor pattern is positioned on the buffer layer BFL. Hereinafter, the semiconductor pattern directly positioned on the buffer layer BFL is defined as a first semiconductor pattern. The first semiconductor pattern may include a silicon semiconductor. The first semiconductor pattern may include polycrystalline silicon. However, according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, it is not particularly limited thereto, and the first semiconductor pattern may include amorphous silicon.
[0138] Figure 6 Only a portion of the first semiconductor pattern is shown, and the first semiconductor pattern may also be positioned in the pixel PXij (see Figure 4A ). The first semiconductor pattern has different electrical properties depending on whether the first semiconductor pattern is doped. The first semiconductor pattern may include a doped region and a non-doped region. The doped region may be doped with an N-type dopant or a P-type dopant. The P-type transistor includes a doped region doped with a P-type dopant, and the N-type transistor includes a doped region doped with an N-type dopant.
[0139] The doped region has a higher conductivity than that of the non-doped region and is basically used as an electrode or a signal line. The non-doped region basically corresponds to the active region (or channel) of the transistor. In other words, a portion of the first semiconductor pattern may be the active region of the transistor, another portion of the first semiconductor pattern may be the source region or the drain region of the transistor, and another portion of the first semiconductor pattern may be a connection signal line (or a connection electrode).
[0140] like Figure 6 As shown in , the first electrode S1, the channel portion A1, and the second electrode D1 of the first transistor T1 are formed by the first semiconductor pattern.

[0226] The insulating layer IL may cover the first conductive layer ICL1. The second conductive layer ICL2 is positioned on the insulating layer IL. The structure in which the input detection layer ISL includes the first conductive layer ICL1 and the second conductive layer ICL2 is shown, but it is not particularly limited thereto according to the embodiments of the present disclosure. For example, the input detection layer ISL may include only one of the first conductive layer ICL1 and the second conductive layer ICL2.
[0227] The protection layer PL may be positioned on the second conductive layer ICL2. The protection layer PL may include an organic insulating material. The protection layer PL may be used to protect the first conductive layer ICL1 and the second conductive layer ICL2 from moisture / oxygen and from foreign matter.
[0228] The color filter layer CFL may be positioned on the input detection layer ISL. The color filter layer CFL may be positioned directly on the protection layer PL. The color filter layer CFL may include a first color filter CF_R, a second color filter CF_G, and a third color filter CF_B. The first color filter CF_R has a first color, the second color filter CF_G has a second color, and the third color filter CF_B has a third color. As an example of the present disclosure, the first color may be red, the second color may be green, and the third color may be blue.
[0229] The color filter layer CFL may further include a dummy color filter DCF. As an example of the present disclosure, when the area where the photoelectric conversion layer O_RL is located is defined as the sensing area SA, and when the area around the sensing area SA is defined as the non-sensing area NSA, the dummy color filter DCF may be arranged to correspond to the sensing area SA. The dummy color filter DCF may overlap the sensing area SA and the non-sensing area NSA. As an example of the present disclosure, the dummy color filter DCF may have the same color as one of the first color filter CF_R, the second color filter CF_G, and the third color filter CF_B. As an example of the present disclosure, the dummy color filter DCF may have the same green color as the second color filter CF_G.
[0230] The color filter layer CFL may further include a black matrix BM. The black matrix BM may be arranged to correspond to the non-pixel area NPA. The black matrix BM may be arranged in the non-pixel area NPA to overlap with the first conductive layer ICL1 and the second conductive layer ICL2. As an example of the present disclosure, the black matrix BM may overlap with the non-pixel area NPA and the first non-luminous area NPXA-R, the second non-luminous area NPXA-G, and the third non-luminous area NPXA-B. The black matrix BM may not overlap with the first luminous area PXA-R, the second luminous area PXA-G, and the third luminous area PXA-B.

The outer coating layer OCL may be provided to have a thickness sufficient to remove the step difference between the first color filter CF_R, the second color filter CF_G, and the third color filter CF_B. The outer coating layer OCL may include any material as long as the material can planarize the upper surface of the color filter layer CFL while having a thickness (e.g., a set or predetermined thickness) without being particularly limited, and may include, for example, an acrylate-based organic material.
[0232] Reference Fig. 13B , when the display device DD (see Figure 1 ) when operating, the red light emitting element ED_R, the green light emitting element ED_G and the blue light emitting element ED_B can output light beams. The red light emitting element ED_R outputs a red light beam in a red wavelength band, the green light emitting element ED_G outputs a green light beam in a green wavelength band, and the blue light emitting element ED_B outputs a blue light beam in a blue wavelength band.
[0233] As an example of the present disclosure, the light receiving element OPD may receive a light beam from a specific light emitting element (e.g., green light emitting element ED_G) among the red light emitting element ED_R, the green light emitting element ED_G, and the blue light emitting element ED_B. That is, the light receiving element OPD may obtain a second reflected light beam Lg2 by reflecting the second light beam Lg1 output from the green light emitting element ED_G by the fingerprint of the user. The second light beam Lg1 and the second reflected light beam Lg2 may be green light beams in the green wavelength range. The dummy color filter DCF is positioned above the light receiving element OPD. The dummy color filter DCF may have a green color. Therefore, the second reflected light beam Lg2 may pass through the dummy color filter DCF and may be input to the light receiving element OPD.
[0234] At the same time, the red light beam and the blue light beam output from the red light emitting element ED_R and the blue light emitting element ED_B may also be reflected by the user's hand US_F. For example, when the light beam obtained by reflecting the red light beam Lr1 output from the red light emitting element ED_R by means of the user's hand US_F is defined as the first reflected light beam Lr2, the first reflected light beam Lr2 may be absorbed without passing through the dummy color filter DCF. Therefore, the first reflected light beam Lr2 may not pass through the dummy color filter DCF, and therefore may not be input to the light receiving element OPD. Similarly, even when the blue light beam is reflected by the user's hand US_F, the blue light beam may be absorbed by the dummy color filter DCF. Therefore, only the second reflected light beam Lg2 may be provided to the light receiving element OPD.
[0235] As described above, since the shielding electrode wiring has a structure extending from the first driving voltage line (i.e., an integrated structure), the first driving voltage line can form a grid structure through the shielding electrode wiring. Since the first driving voltage line is formed in the display area in a grid structure, the first driving voltage can be uniformly supplied to the entire display area.
[0236] In addition, the shielding electrode wiring receives a direct current (DC) voltage (i.e., the first driving voltage) having a constant potential from the first driving voltage line. Therefore, the shielding electrode wiring can be used to shield the detection signal output from the readout wiring so that the detection signal is not coupled by the data signal, and as a result, the sensing accuracy of the sensor provided on the display panel can be improved.
[0237] Although the above has been described with reference to various aspects of some embodiments of the present disclosure, it is understandable that those skilled in the art or those of ordinary skill in the art may make various modifications and changes to the present disclosure without departing from the spirit and technical scope of the present disclosure described in the attached claims.
