A photo-sensor is disposed within a sub-pixel, a voltage change of a pixel electrode according to a leakage current of the photo-sensor exposed to light is sensed, and a fingerprint is sensed, so that a fingerprint can be sensed in an active area of a display panel. Also, a voltage change of the pixel electrode is sensed using a common electrode without directly applying a driving voltage to the pixel electrode, so as to perform driving of the pixel electrode and light irradiation together, thereby enabling a reduction in a fingerprint sensing mode and detection of only the level of a leakage voltage during fingerprint sensing.
