Abstract
A display apparatus is provided which includes a display element section () for displaying an image in an image display region, a light detection sensor () for detecting the intensity of light in the image display region or in the proximity of the image display region using a thin film transistor formed on the same insulating substrate () as that of the display element section (), and a light control circuit () for controlling the luminance when the display element section () displays an image based on a result of the detection by the light detection sensor (). Since the light intensity is detected by the light detection sensor () using the thin film transistor formed on the same insulating substrate () as that of the display element section (), such a situation that the scale of the apparatus increases for light intensity detection can be prevented while good image display under various environments is made possible.
