    Abstract: A detecting device includes a substrate and a plurality of detecting elements arranged in a matrix at the substrate. Each of the plurality of detecting elements includes a light emitting portion that emits light toward a living body, a light receiving portion that can receive light incident from the living body based on the light emitted from the light emitting portion, and a contact detecting portion that detects contact with the living body. The light emitting portion in each of the plurality of detecting elements emits light when the contact detecting portion in the same detecting element has detected contact with the living body.

  • Publication number: 20230186855
    Abstract: A pixel circuit provided corresponding to a scanning line and a data line includes a transistor and an OLED serving as one example of a light emitting element. In a compensation period, a gate node and a drain node of the transistor are electrically coupled to each other to cause a voltage of the gate node of the transistor to be a voltage corresponding to a threshold voltage. In the gate writing period, a voltage of the gate node of the transistor is varied from a voltage corresponding to the threshold voltage into a voltage corresponding to luminance of the OLED, and the voltage corresponding to luminance of the OLED is applied to the drain node of the transistor.
