Disclosed is a liquid crystal display device of novel construction, in which a fingerprint recognition device is integrally formed with the liquid crystal display device, thereby minimizing the increase in the price and size of a final product. The liquid crystal display device comprises an image display panel and a fingerprint recognition panel which are integrally formed, wherein the image display panel comprises a scan drive unit which sequentially turns on rows formed in the image display panel for each frame in order to display images, and a data drive unit which outputs data signals to a turned-on row provided in the image display panel, and wherein the fingerprint recognition panel comprises a switch control unit which sequentially turns on rows formed in the fingerprint recognition panel for each frame in order to perform fingerprint recognition, and a reading unit, to which fingerprint information recognized from a turned-on row is outputted.

Liquid crystal display device performing both image display mode and fingerprint recognition mode

Disclosed is a liquid crystal display device. The device comprises a scan drive unit for selectively outputting turn-on/turn-off signals in the image display mode and outputting turn-on signals in the fingerprint recognition mode; a data drive unit for outputting data signals in the image display mode; a switch control unit for outputting turn-off signals in the image display mode and for selectively outputting turn-on/turn-off signals in the fingerprint recognition mode; a reading unit for outputting fingerprint image information read in the fingerprint recognition mode; a sensor thin film transistor for driving liquid crystal in the image display mode; and a switch thin film transistor having a channel with a first end and a second end, a drain and a source.
