  • Patent number: 10477111
    Abstract: A display apparatus includes a sensor panel configured to sense a first incident light, which is incident to the sensor panel subsequent to passing through a display, and configured to at least partially block transmission of light through the sensor panel. The display apparatus further includes a controller configured to selectively control the display to pass the first incident light toward the sensor panel, and configured to control the display to pass light out of the display to display an image. The sensor panel includes a first sensor unit and a second sensor unit configured to sense the incident first light, and the first sensor unit and the second sensor unit include respective unit color filters having different color filters.
