Abstract
A detecting device includes a substrate and a plurality of detecting elements arranged in a matrix at the substrate. Each of the plurality of detecting elements includes a light emitting portion and a light receiving portion that receives light of a wavelength emitted from the light emitting portion at a position adjacent to the light emitting portion. The light receiving portion includes a photoelectric conversion portion formed at the substrate. The light emitting portion includes an organic EL light emitting element formed at the substrate. The area of the light receiving portion is larger than the area of the light emitting portion.
Claims12
A detecting device comprising a substrate and a plurality of detecting elements arranged in a matrix at the substrate, wherein
- each of the plurality of detecting elements includes a light emitting portion configured to emit light toward a living body and a light receiving portion configured to receive light from the living body based on the light emitted from the light emitting portion,
- the light receiving portion includes a photoelectric conversion portion formed at the substrate, and
- the light emitting portion includes an organic electroluminescent light emitting element formed at the substrate at a position adjacent to the photoelectric conversion portion,
- wherein
- a plurality of first scan lines extending in a first direction and a plurality of first and second signal lines extending in a second direction intersecting the first direction are formed at the substrate,
- each one of detecting elements is disposed in each of areas obtained by partitioning the substrate in a grid pattern by the first scan lines and the first signal lines,
- the light emitting portion is configured to be driven via the first scan line and the first signal line, and
- the light receiving portion is configured to output a detection signal of the light emitted from the living body through the second signal line.
