Abstract
An EL device includes a display panel and an imaging element, and the display panel includes a panel substrate and an EL layer, and an imaging hole for guiding light from a subject to the imaging element is formed in the display area to straddle a plurality of scanning signal lines and a plurality of data signal lines when viewed from a direction perpendicular to a display area.
Claims7
An EL device comprising:
- a display panel configured to display an image on a display area in a display surface;
- and
- an imaging element arranged on a side of a surface opposite to the display surface, the imaging element being configured to image a subject on a side of the display surface,
- wherein the display panel includes
- a panel substrate in which a plurality of scanning signal lines and a plurality of data signal lines intersecting with the plurality of scanning signal lines are formed, and
- an EL layer formed on the panel substrate, the EL layer being configured to display the image based on scanning signals from the plurality of scanning signal lines and data signals from the plurality of data signal lines, and
- an imaging hole formed in the display area straddles the plurality of scanning signal lines and the plurality of data signal lines in a case of being viewed from a direction perpendicular to the display surface, the imaging hole being configured to guide light from the subject to the imaging element.
