摘要:
With the related art, the choice of locations for disposition of ambient light photosensors is narrow, and consequently it is difficult to respond flexibly to user specifications for differing structures of the case. With a display device of the invention however, ambient light photosensors can be disposed laterally and longitudinally, enabling the intensity of light in longitudinal or lateral directions to be sensed at the same levels. Also, bridge-connecting together the longitudinally-disposed ambient light photosensors enables ambient light photosensors to be disposed close to the outer periphery of the display area in both the longitudinal and lateral directions. Thereby, the problems with the related art can be resolved.

A liquid crystal display (LCD) 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a liquid crystal panel having a TFT substrate 2, a CF substrate 25, and a liquid crystal layer 14 interposed between the two substrates; a TFT ambient light photosensor having a semiconductor layer 19L for detecting external light; a photodetector unit LS1 having a capacitor Cw in which a predetermined reference voltage is charged and a voltage charged by leakage current of the TFT ambient light photosensor is lowered; and an ambient light photosensor reader unit Re1 for reading a voltage charged in the capacitor for a predetermined read period. The photodetector unit is disposed on a first surface of the TFT substrate 2 that is in contact with the liquid crystal layer, and the surface of the photodetector unit except for the semiconductor layer 19L and its periphery is covered by a light-shielding layer 21. It is therefore possible to provide an LCD in which malfunction or reduced sensitivity of its ambient light photosensor due to light from its backlights is prevented with a simple structure.

A liquid crystal display includes: a display with an array substrate having scanning and data lines and an IC chip driving liquid crystal, and a color filter substrate; a light-detector having an optical sensor integrated in the display detecting external light; a detection circuit connected via sensor laid-around lines connecting to light-detector lines; an illuminator illuminating the display panel; and a controller controlling the illuminator based on the detection circuit's output. The data lines are distributed to the chip-mounting area and have terminals at an end for connecting to IC chip bump terminals. Leader lines distribute from the terminals toward the chip-mounting area and have inspection terminals at their ends. Sensor inspection lines connect at one end to the sensor laid-around lines and extend at the other end to the chip-mounting area. Sensor detection terminals are formed at the other end of the sensor inspection lines.
