The present invention provides an active matrix display device, including: a data signal line drive circuit mounted by COG (Chip On Glass) bonding; a photosensor, which is included in a display region, for (i) detecting light intensity and (ii) sending out an analog output serving as a signal indicative of the detected light intensity; and a common electrode (COM) to which a voltage being AC-driven is applied. The data signal line drive circuit includes an analog-to-digital conversion circuit which converts the analog output supplied from the photosensor into a digital output. The conversion is carried out during a first period, which overlaps none of (a) a time point at which each of the scanning signal lines starts being in a selected state, (b) a period during which data signals are sent out to respective data signal lines, and (c) a time point at which the voltage of the common electrode changes. Accordingly, it is possible to provide a display device employing a COG technique, which is capable of carrying out analog-to-digital conversion of the analog output supplied from the photosensor.
