  • Patent number: 11898950
    Abstract: A display device includes a display panel, a driving controller, and a readout circuit. The display panel includes a first part and a second part. The first part includes a first pixel set. The second part includes a first sensor set. The driving controller controls the first pixel set to emit first light when controlling the first sensor set to receive second light. The first sensor set generates a sensing signal using the second light. The readout circuit is electrically connected to at least one of the driving controller and the first sensor set and receives the sensing signal. The display device calculates a dust concentration using the sensing signal.
