Claim Text:
1. A display device including an active matrix substrate, the display device comprising a display pixel circuit and a sensor pixel circuit that are provided in a pixel region of the active matrix substrate, wherein the sensor pixel circuit includes: a light receiving element; an accumulation node for accumulating charges corresponding to an amount of light incident on the light receiving element; and a readout switching element that reads out charges in the accumulation node, the display device further comprising; a driving circuit that supplies a sensor driving signal for controlling a resetting operation and an accumulating operation of the accumulation node, to the sensor pixel circuit, via a source line for supplying a display data signal to the display pixel circuit; and a protection switching element connected to a sensor control line provided in addition to the source line, the protection switching element protecting the sensor signal of the sensor pixel circuit; wherein the sensor pixel circuit further includes a control switching element including a source connected to the light receiving element and a drain, wherein the protection switching element includes: a first protection switching element including a drain connected to the light receiving element and a source connected to a source line for supplying a reset voltage to the light receiving element; and a second protection switching element including a source connected to the drain of the control switching element and a drain connected to the accumulation node.
