  • Patent number: 11769450
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a pixel circuit including an optical fingerprint sensing circuit, a method for driving a pixel circuit including the optical fingerprint sensing circuit, and a display device including the pixel circuit including the optical fingerprint sensing circuit. The pixel circuit includes: a self-light emitting element which displays images by a driving current controlled by a driving transistor; and a light-receiving element which receives light emitted from the self-light emitting element and reflected through a fingerprint of a user and converts it into a photocurrent. The driving transistor functions as a buffer which transmits an output voltage of the light-receiving element to an output line of the pixel circuit.

  • Patent number: 11705036
    Abstract: The present disclosure related to an optical fingerprint identification display and a driving method thereof. In the optical fingerprint identification display and the driving method thereof, the fingerprint identification display includes: a display panel and a processor. The display panel includes a plurality of pixels arranged in a two-dimensional matrix. The pixel includes: at least one subpixel which emits light on the basis of a first signal received from the processor; and an optical sensor which receives the light emitted from the subpixel and is reflected from a fingerprint and generates a second signal. The processor determines a touch region on the display panel, and transmits the first signal to one or more pixels included in the touch region, and identifies the fingerprint of the user on the basis of the second signal received from the pixel.
