Abstract
Each optical sensor element includes an upper electrode, a lower electrode, and a light dependent variable resistance element formed of amorphous silicon. Each optical sensor pixel includes: a capacitive element between the lower electrode and a reference voltage line; a first transistor inputting a first power source voltage to a second electrode, connecting a first electrode to the lower electrode, and inputting a second clock to a control electrode; a second transistor inputting a second power source voltage to a second electrode, and connecting a control electrode to the lower electrode; and a third transistor connecting a second electrode to a first electrode of the second transistor, connecting a first electrode to the output line, and inputting a first clock to a control electrode.
