Photo detector and a display panel having the same

摘要

A photo detector has a sensing TFT (thin film transistor) and a photodiode. The sensing TFT has a gate and a base. The photodiode has an intrinsic semiconductor region electrically connected to the gate and the base of the sensing TFT. The sensing TFT and the photodiode both have a structure comprising low temperature poly-silicon. A display panel contains the photo detector is also disclosed.
