Patent ID: 8269927

Claim:
A liquid crystal display comprising a liquid crystal panel including: a first substrate: a second substrate opposed to said first substrate: and a liquid crystal layer interposed between said first substrate and said second substrate, wherein, (a) a plurality of pixels are arrayed in a first direction and in a second direction orthogonal to said first direction in a pixel area provided in a plane where said first substrate and said second substrate are opposed, (b) said first substrate includes (i) a plurality of pixel electrodes, each of which corresponds to a respective pixel, and (ii) photosensor elements each operable to generate light reception data by receiving, at a light receiving surface, incident light incident on the first substrate side from the second substrate side via said liquid crystal layer, (c) said pixel electrodes and said photosensor elements are provided at a surface opposed to said second substrate in said pixel area, (d) each of said pixel electrodes includes an inclined part extending in a direction inclined relative to said first direction and said second direction in said pixel area, and (e) said photosensor elements are each formed with said light receiving surface in a shape extending along said direction in which said pixel electrodes extend so that said photosensor element parallels said pixel electrode inclined parts.
