Display device

A display device, comprising:

• a display panel that includes a display element layer, and a light blocking layer disposed under the display element layer and that includes an opening formed therein, wherein the display panel is divided into a folding region and a non-folding region;
• an input sensor disposed under the non-folding region of the display panel and that includes a plurality of sensing elements;
• and
• a control unit that divides a first image obtained from the input sensor into a plurality of first sub-images using a first cutting line wherein fingerprint information is obtained when the display panel is unfolded, and divides a second image obtained from the input sensor into a plurality of second sub-images using a second cutting line in a different position from the first cutting line wherein fingerprint information is obtained when the display panel is folded.

A display device, comprising:

• a display panel that is divided into a folding region and a non-folding region and includes a light blocking layer that includes a plurality of openings;
• an input sensor disposed under the non-folding region of the display panel, wherein the input sensor includes a first sensing element, a second sensing element that overlaps an opening of the plurality of openings when the display panel is unfolded, and a third sensing element that overlaps the opening of the plurality of openings when the display panel is partially folded;
• and
• a control unit that includes a distance calculation unit, an image division unit, an image rotation unit and an image combination unit,
• wherein when a first image is obtained by the input sensor when the display panel is unfolded, the distance calculation unit calculates a first distance between the first sensing element and the second sensing element, the image division unit divides the first image into a plurality of first sub-images using a first cutting line, the image rotation unit rotates each of the plurality of sub-images to form a plurality of rotation images, and the image combination unit extracts the information for obtaining fingerprint information by deleting unnecessary image portions from the plurality of rotation images and forms a plurality of partial images and combines the plurality of partial images into a fingerprint image.
