[0027] Throughout the specification, the same reference numerals may refer to the same elements. In the drawings, the thickness of layers, films or regions may be exaggerated for clarity.

[0028] As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0029] Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] Figure 1 is a perspective view of a display device DD according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of a display device DD according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown in , the display device DD can display an image IM on a display surface DD-IS. The display surface DD-IS is parallel to a plane defined by the first direction axis DR1 and the second direction axis DR2. The normal direction of the display surface DD-IS (in other words, the thickness direction of the display device DD) is indicated by the third direction axis DR3.

[0032] The front surface (or top surface) and the rear surface (or bottom surface) of each member or unit described below are distinguished by the third directional axis DR3. However, the first directional axis DR1 to the third directional axis DR3 shown in this embodiment are only examples.

[0113] The gate electrode of the third transistor T3 is connected to the i-th scan line SLi. The drain electrode of the third transistor T3 is connected to the drain electrode of the fourth transistor T4, the first end of the capacitor Cst and the gate electrode of the first transistor T1. The source electrode of the third transistor T3 is connected to the drain electrode of the first transistor T1 and is connected to the anode AE ​​of the organic light emitting diode LD via the sixth transistor T6 (see Fig.13 ).

Fig.13 ) can be connected to a third voltage line VL3 transmitting the first driving voltage ELVSS. The structure of the light-emitting pixel PXij according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is not limited to Figure 8 In the structure shown in FIG. 1 , the number of transistors and the number of capacitors included in the light-emitting pixel PXij and the connection relationship can be variously modified.

[0120] The light sensing pixel FXij includes an organic photodiode OPD and a light sensing driving circuit ODC.

[0121] In this embodiment, the light sensing driving circuit ODC of the light sensing pixel FXij includes three transistors FT1, FT2 and FT3. In addition, the reset transistor FT1, the amplifying transistor FT2 and the output transistor FT3 may be P-type transistors such as PMOS transistors, but are not limited thereto. At least one of the reset transistor FT1, the amplifying transistor FT2 and the output transistor FT3 may be an N-type transistor. In addition, the circuit configuration of the light sensing pixel FXij according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is not limited to Figure 8 Circuit configuration. Figure 8 The light-sensing driving circuit ODC shown in FIG. 1 is merely an example, and the configuration of the light-sensing driving circuit ODC may be modified.

[0122] Reference Figure 8 , according to the display device DD of the exemplary embodiment of the present invention (see Figure 1 ) may include a reset transistor FT1, an amplifying transistor FT2, an output transistor FT3, and at least one organic photodiode OPD connected to the j-th fingerprint sensing line FSLj, the i-1-th scan line SLi-1, the i-th scan line SLi, the first voltage line VL1, and the third voltage line VL3. In this embodiment, an example in which one light sensing pixel FXij includes one organic photodiode OPD is described.

[0123] The gate electrode of the reset transistor FT1 is connected to the i-th scan line SLi, the source electrode of the reset transistor FT1 is connected to the i-1-th scan line SLi-1, and the drain electrode of the reset transistor FT1 is electrically connected to the charge storage node FN. The reset transistor FT1 can reset the charge storage node FN in response to the first scan signal SCi transmitted by the i-th scan line SLi.

[0124] The reset transistor FT1 may have a dual-gate structure connected in series. In other words, the reset transistor FT1 may include a first sub-transistor and a second sub-transistor. The reset transistor FT1 may have a structure in which the gate electrodes of the first sub-transistor and the second sub-transistor are connected to each other through wiring on a gate insulating layer, and a high-concentration region with high conductivity is provided between the gate electrodes as a gate common region. The drain electrode of the first sub-transistor and the source electrode of the second sub-transistor may be electrically connected to each other. In addition, the source electrode of the first sub-transistor may be connected to the i-1th scan line SLi-1, and the drain electrode of the second sub-transistor may be electrically connected to the charge storage node FN.

[0125] The gate electrode of the amplifying transistor FT2 is electrically connected to the charge storage node FN, the source electrode of the amplifying transistor FT2 is connected to the first voltage line VL1, and the drain electrode of the amplifying transistor FT2 is connected to the source electrode of the output transistor FT3. The amplifying transistor FT2 can be turned on by the voltage level of the charge storage node FN, and can transmit the second driving voltage ELVDD transmitted from the first voltage line VL1 to the source electrode of the output transistor FT3.

[0126] The gate electrode of the output transistor FT3 is connected to the i-1th scan line SLi-1. The source electrode of the output transistor FT3 is connected to the drain electrode of the amplifying transistor FT2. The drain electrode of the output transistor FT3 is connected to the jth fingerprint sensing line FSLj. The jth fingerprint sensing line FSLj can transmit a fingerprint sensing signal FSj.

[0127] Fig. 9 Is used to describe Figure 8 0 is a timing diagram of the operation of the light-emitting pixel PXij and the light-sensing pixel FXij shown in FIG.

[0128] Reference Figure 8 and Fig. 9 , the first scan signal SCi and the second scan signal SCi-1 may be provided in the i-th scan line SLi and the i-1-th scan line SLi-1 connected to the light-emitting pixel PXij, respectively, in one frame FR. One frame FR may include a non-light-emitting period NLEP and a light-emitting period LEP according to whether the organic light-emitting diode LD of the light-emitting pixel PXij emits light. The non-light-emitting period NLEP may include an initialization period in which the second scan signal SCi-1 is at a low level and a data writing and compensation period in which the first scan signal SCi is at a low level.

[0129] During the initialization period, the second scan signal SCi-1 having a low level is provided through the i-1th scan line SLi-1. The fourth transistor T4 is turned on in response to the second scan signal SCi-1 having a low level, and the initialization voltage VINIT is provided to the gate electrode of the first transistor T1 through the fourth transistor T4, and the first transistor T1 is initialized by the initialization voltage VINIT.

[0130] In addition, when the second scan signal SCi-1 with a low level is provided through the i-1 scan line SLi-1, the seventh transistor T7 is turned on. A portion of the driving current at the drain electrode of the first transistor T1 may flow into the second voltage line VL2 through the seventh transistor T7 due to the turned-on seventh transistor T7. Then, when the first scan signal SCi with a low level is provided through the i-th scan line SLi during the data writing and compensation period, the second transistor T2 and the third transistor T3 are turned on. At this time, the first transistor T1 is diode-connected by the turned-on third transistor T3 and is forward biased. Then, the compensation voltage (Di-Vth) obtained by subtracting the threshold voltage (Vth) of the first transistor T1 from the data signal DSj provided by the j-th data line DLj is applied to the gate electrode of the first transistor T1. In other words, the gate voltage applied to the gate electrode of the first transistor T1 may be the compensation voltage (Di-Vth).

[0131] The second driving voltage ELVDD and the compensation voltage (Di-Vth) may be applied to both ends of the capacitor Cst, respectively, and charges corresponding to a voltage difference between the both ends may be stored in the capacitor Cst.

[0132] Next, the light emitting control signal EMi provided from the i-th light emitting control line ELi changes from a high level to a low level at the beginning of the light emitting period LEP, and is maintained at a low level during the light emitting period LEP. The fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 are turned on by the light emitting control signal EMi having a low level during the light emitting period LEP. Then, a driving current is generated according to a voltage difference between a gate voltage of the gate electrode of the first transistor T1 and the second driving voltage ELVDD, and the driving current is supplied to the organic light emitting diode LD through the sixth transistor T6, so that the driving current flows through the organic light emitting diode LD. During the light emitting period LEP, the gate-source voltage (Vgs) of the first transistor T1 may be maintained at “ELVDD-(Di-Vth)” by the capacitor Cst, and the driving current may be proportional to the square of a value obtained by subtracting a threshold voltage from the gate-source voltage (in other words, “(ELVDD-Di)”) according to a current-voltage relationship of the first transistor T1. 2 ”). Therefore, the driving current can be determined regardless of the threshold voltage (Vth) of the first transistor T1.

[0133] One frame FR may include a sensing period SP, an initialization period IP, and an exposure period EP according to the operation of the light sensing pixel FXij. The sensing period SP, the initialization period IP, and the exposure period EP may be performed sequentially.

[0134] The exposure period EP of the light sensing pixel FXij may correspond to the light emission period LEP of the light emitting pixel PXij. In other words, the exposure period EP of the light sensing pixel FXij may overlap the light emission period LEP of the light emitting pixel PXij. The organic photodiode OPD is exposed to external light during the exposure period EP. The organic photodiode OPD may use charges as main charge carriers.

[0135] When there is a user input TC (see Figure 1 ), the organic photodiode OPD may generate photocharges corresponding to light reflected by the ridges of the fingerprint or the valleys between the ridges, and the generated photocharges may be accumulated in the charge storage node FN.

[0136] The amplification transistor FT2 may be a source follower amplifier that generates a source-drain current proportional to the amount of charge of the charge storage node FN input to the gate electrode of the amplification transistor FT2 .

[0137] During the sensing period SP, a second scanning signal SCi-1 having a low level is provided through the i-1th scanning line SLi-1. The first scanning signal SCi may have a high level during the sensing period SP. When the output transistor FT3 is turned on in response to the second scanning signal SCi-1 having a low level, a fingerprint sensing signal FSj corresponding to the current flowing through the amplifying transistor FT2 may be output to the jth fingerprint sensing line FSLj. The sensing period SP of the light sensing pixel FXij may correspond to the initialization period of the light emitting pixel PXij. In other words, the sensing period SP of the light sensing pixel FXij may overlap with the initialization period of the light emitting pixel PXij.

[0138] Next, when the first scan signal SCi having a low level is provided through the i-th scan line SLi during the initialization period IP, the reset transistor FT1 is turned on. In this case, since the second scan signal SCi-1 having a high level is provided to the source electrode of the reset transistor FT1, the second scan signal SCi-1 having a high level may be transmitted to the charge storage node FN to reset the charge storage node FN.

[0139] During the following exposure period EP, the organic photodiode OPD may generate photo charges corresponding to the received external light, and the generated photo charges may be accumulated in the charge storage node FN.

[0140] In this way, both the light-emitting pixel PXij and the light-sensing pixel FXij can be provided in the display panel DP, and the light-sensing pixel FXij can be driven using the first scan signal SCi and the second scan signal SCi-1 for driving the light-emitting pixel PXij. When the first scan signal SCi and the second scan signal SCi-1 have a low level, both the light-emitting pixel PXij and the light-sensing pixel FXij can be driven. Therefore, the display device DD (see Figure 1 ) is minimized, and since a separate circuit for driving the light sensing pixel FXij is unnecessary, the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

[0141] Fig.10 is an enlarged plan view of a portion of a display panel DP according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

[0142] Reference Figure 7 and Fig.10 , the display panel DP includes light-emitting pixels PX11, PX12, PX21, PX22, PX31, PX32, PX41, and PX42 and light-sensing pixels FX11, FX12, FX21, FX22, FX31, FX32, FX41, and FX42. Each of the light-emitting pixels PX11 to PX42 includes an organic light-emitting diode LD and a light-emitting driving circuit LDC. Each of the light-sensing pixels FX11 to FX42 includes an organic photodiode OPD and a light-sensing driving circuit ODC.

[0143] The light-emitting pixels PX11 to PX42 and the light-sensing pixels FX11 to FX42 are alternately and sequentially arranged in the first direction DR1 and in the second direction DR2. For example, the light-emitting pixel PX11, the light-sensing pixel FX21, the light-emitting pixel PX31, and the light-sensing pixel FX41 are sequentially arranged in the first column in the first direction DR1. In addition, the light-emitting pixel PX11, the light-sensing pixel FX11, the light-emitting pixel PX12, and the light-sensing pixel FX12 are sequentially arranged in the first row in the second direction DR2.
