Abstract
A thermometer integrated with an image display includes an infrared radiation sensor and a visible light sensor. The infrared radiation sensor detects the infrared radiation signals that correspond to the human-body temperature, and the visible light sensor captures visible light signals that correspond to a visible figure in a measured portion simultaneously. Accordingly, a user could correctly determine whether the measurement is properly performed by viewing a displayed visible figure.
Claims18
A thermometer with image display, comprising:
- means for illuminating a measured portion;
- thermal detecting means for receiving and detecting a plurality of infrared radiation signals and a visible image detecting means for receiving and detecting a plurality of visible light signals from said measured portion simultaneously;
- means for analyzing and processing said plurality of infrared radiation signals to obtain the temperature corresponding to the infrared radiation signals and being combined with said plurality of visible light signals corresponding to a visible figure of said measured portion to generate a combined signal;
- and
- means for displaying said combined signal of said measured portion.
