Abstract

The invention provides a display unit that has a display area and first and second photodetectorsandon a substrate and outputs as a light intensity signal S a light intensity detected by the first and second photodetectorsand. The first photodetectorincludes a first photodetection circuit LSoutputting a first output signal Sa to an ambient light photosensor reader, and the second photodetectorincludes a light-reducing unit and a second photodetection circuit LSoutputting a second output signal Sb to an ambient light photosensor reader. The ambient light photosensor readerincludes a photodegradation factor calculatorcalculating a photodegradation reparation factor K, a photodegradation rate calculatorderiving a photodegradation rate D based on the photodegradation reparation factor K, and a light signal output unitoutputting a light intensity signal S based on the photodegradation rate D.
