Patent ID: 8199083

Claim:
A display device, comprising: a display surface on which information is displayed; a plurality of pixel areas including optical elements, respectively, each of said optical elements being adapted to generate a light having an intensity corresponding to data inputted and to output the light to said display surface; a plurality of sensor areas each of which includes a pair of light receiving elements, each of said light receiving elements being adapted to receive an incident light and to subject the incident light to photoelectric conversion; an optical filter portion disposed between a first light receiving element and said display surface within the corresponding one of said plurality of sensors, said optical filter portion being adapted to absorb and shield the incident light in a visible light band, and to transmit the incident light in a nonvisible light band; a light shielding portion, having a light absorbing property, disposed between a second light receiving element disposed close to said first light receiving element, and said display surface within the corresponding one of said plurality of sensor areas, said light shielding portion being adapted to absorb and shield the incident light; and an arithmetically operating portion for obtaining a difference between an output signal from said first light receiving element, and an output signal from said second light receiving element wherein said optical filter portion is made of a first pigment dispersed resist obtained by dispersing an organic pigment for selectively absorbing a light in a specific wavelength band, and transmitting lights in other wavelength band into a resist; and said light shielding portion is made of a second pigment dispersed resist obtained by dispersing an organic or inorganic pigment having an absorbing property for an entire wavelength band of lights into a resist.
