Abstract

A display device of the present invention includes a light source layer and a sensing unit layer. The light source layer has a display side and a sensing side at the backside of the display side. The light source layer includes a plurality of first light sources generating a first light, and a plurality of second light sources generating a second light. The first light at least partially emits toward the sensing side; the second light at least partially emits toward the display side. A second wavelength of the second light is different from a first wavelength of the first light. The sensing unit layer is disposed at the sensing side of the light source layer. In a sensing mode, the plurality of the first light sources is activated to generate and provide the first light for the sensing unit layer. In a displaying mode, the plurality of the second light sources is activated to generate the second light for displaying an image at the display side.
