1. A liquid crystal display device, comprising:
- a data line supplying a data voltage;
a gate line intersecting the data line;
a first thin film transistor (“
TFT”
) located at an intersection area of the gate line and the data line; and
a photo sensing device operable to sense light and comprising a storage capacitor operable to store charge generated by the light, wherein the photo sensing device is driven by a drive voltage other than the data voltage.

Abstract
A liquid crystal display device includes a gate line and a data line intersecting each other on a substrate. The liquid crystal display device further includes a photo sensing device and a first thin film transistor (“TFT”) located at an intersection area of the gate line. The photo sensing device operates to sense an ambient light and includes a storage capacitor to store charge generated by light. The photo sensing device is drive by a driving voltage other than the data voltage.
