An infrared (IR) full color image sensor includes a CMOS image sensor (CIS), isolation components, red light conversion units, green light conversion units and blue light conversion units. The isolation components are disposed on the CIS to define a plurality of conversion areas. The red light, the green light and the blue light conversion units are respectively located in different conversion areas. Each conversion unit includes an IR filter, an anode layer, a first electron transport layer, a light-absorbing quantum dot layer, a hole transport layer, a light-emitting quantum dot layer, a second electron transport layer and a cathode layer. The cathode layer is in direct contact with the CIS. The light-absorbing quantum dot layer absorbs IR that enters the conversion area through the IR filter and then generates electron-hole pairs. Electron-hole pairs are recombined in the light-emitting quantum dot layer to excite red, green, and blue visible lights.
