Display device
First Claim
1. A display device having a first substrate, on which pixel electrodes and correspondingly therewith active elements are provided, a display material and a second substrate, the first and second substrate being disposed on opposite sides to each other with respect to the display material sandwiched therebetween, said display device CHARACTERIZED in that said active elements are two terminal devices, the first substrate is provided thereon with photo-sensitive elements each for a predetermined number of ones of the pixel electrodes and comprises at least one semiconductor materials which are included in the active elements, said first substrate being provided with a group of signal electrodes, which extend in either a row or a column direction and are connected to the pixel electrodes and with a group of read-out electrodes which extend in the same direction as said signal electrodes and are connected to said photo-sensitive electrodes, the second substrate being provided thereon with a group of scan electrodes which extend in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which said signal electrodes extend.
