Abstract
A sensor unit drive device, including: a sensor unit having a sensor; and a drive mechanism connected to the sensor unit and driving the sensor unit. The sensor measures optical characteristics of a display panel that includes a display surface that displays an image, the sensor unit is provided on a side surface of the display panel in a retracted position, and is configured such that the sensor faces the display surface in a detection position, the sensor unit moves so that the retracted position and the detection position can be switched when the drive mechanism drives the sensor unit, and the sensor unit moves to the detection position by a rotational movement of rotating around a rotational axis non-perpendicular to the display surface from the retracted position and a bending movement of bending toward the display surface via a hinge structure, when the drive mechanism drives the sensor unit.
