#This application is the National Phase of PCT International Application No. PCT/KR2016/006615, filed on Jun. 22, 2016, which claims priority under 35 U.S.C. 119(a) to Patent Application No. 10-2016-0067351, filed in Republic of Korea on May 31, 2016, all of which are hereby expressly incorporated by reference into the present application.

#The present disclosure relates to a display device.

#With the development of the information society, various demands for display devices are increasing. Various display devices, such as liquid crystal displays (LCDs), plasma display panels (PDPs), electroluminescent displays (ELDs), and vacuum fluorescent displays (VFDs), have been recently studied and used in response to the various demands for the display devices.

#FIGS. 1 to 7 illustrate configuration of a display device related to the present disclosure.

#FIGS. 8a to 8d illustrate a location relationship between an infrared sensor and peripheral configuration according to an embodiment of the disclosure.

#FIGS. 9 to 11 illustrate configuration of an infrared sensor according to an embodiment of the disclosure.

#Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the disclosure, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers will be used throughout the drawings to refer to the same or like parts. In general, a suffix such as “module” and “unit” may be used to refer to elements or components. Use of such a suffix herein is merely intended to facilitate description of the specification, and the suffix itself is not intended to give any special meaning or function. It will be noted that a detailed description of known arts will be omitted if it is determined that the detailed description of the known arts can obscure the embodiments of the disclosure. The accompanying drawings are used to help easily understand various technical features and it should be understood that the embodiments presented herein are not limited by the accompanying drawings. As such, the present disclosure should be construed to extend to any alterations, equivalents and substitutes in addition to those which are particularly set out in the accompanying drawings.

#Hereinafter, embodiments of the disclosure are described using a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel as an example of a display panel. However, embodiments of the disclosure are not limited thereto. For example, a plasma display panel (PDP), a field emission display (FED) panel, and an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display panel may be used.

#FIGS. 1 to 7 illustrate configuration of a display device related to the present disclosure.
