  • Publication number: 20230346315
    Abstract: A blood pressure measurement method using a display device including: a display panel including first sub-pixels and second sub-pixels; a pressure sensor to sense a pressure applied from the outside; and a photo-sensor to sense light, includes: generating a first pulse wave signal according to light emitted by the first sub-pixels and sensed by the photo-sensor; generating a second pulse wave signal according to light emitted by the second sub-pixels and sensed by the photo-sensor; generating a third pulse wave signal by removing noise from the second pulse wave signal based on the first pulse wave signal, the second pulse wave signal, and a maximum value of the first pulse wave signal; and calculating blood pressure information based on the third pulse wave signal and a pressure measurement value sensed by the pressure sensor. The blood pressure information is displayed on the display panel.

  • Publication number: 20230255502
    Abstract: A display device is provided. The display device includes a display panel including a pixel configured to display an image and a photo-sensor configured to sense incident light, a pressure sensor disposed on one surface of the display panel and configured to sense a pressure applied via a portion of a user’s body, and a processor. The processor is configured to generate a pulse wave signal according to an amount of incident light sensed by the photo-sensor and an optical signal corresponding to the amount of incident light in response to determining that a pressure measurement value corresponding to the pressure is within a pressure request range corresponding to a pressure interval, and calculate blood pressure information based on the pulse wave signal.

  • Publication number: 20230230544
    Abstract: A display device is provided that includes a plurality of pixels, a plurality of optical sensors, an emission line connected to the pixels, and an emission driver connected to the emission line. The emission driver outputs a first emission signal to the emission line having a first frame frequency in a first mode for displaying an image using the pixels and outputs a second emission signal to the emission line having a second frame frequency in a second mode for sensing light using the optical sensors. The second frame frequency is different from the first frame frequency.
