Optical sensor

An optical sensor, comprising:

• a visible light sensor comprising a visible light sensing transistor;
• and
• an infrared light sensor comprising an infrared light sensing transistor,
• wherein the visible light sensing transistor and the infrared light sensing transistor are both configured to receive driving voltages through a driving voltage line, the visible light sensing transistor is configured to receive a first reference voltage through a first reference voltage line, and the infrared light sensing transistor is configured to receive a second reference voltage through a second reference voltage line.

An optical sensor, comprising

• a plurality of visible light sensors each comprising a plurality of visible light sensing transistor;
• and
• a plurality of infrared light sensors each comprising a plurality of infrared light sensing transistors,
• wherein the plurality of visible light sensing transistors and the plurality of infrared light sensing transistors are configured to receive driving voltages through a driving voltage line, the plurality of visible light sensing transistors are configured to receive a first reference voltage through a first reference voltage line, and the plurality of infrared light sensing transistors are configured to receive a second reference voltage through a second reference voltage line,
• wherein the plurality of visible light sensing sensor are arranged such that each individual visible light sensing sensor may be electrically isolated from the first reference voltage line such that the remaining visible light sensing sensors remain electrically connected to the first reference voltage line, and
• wherein the plurality of infrared light sensing sensors are arranged such that each individual infrared light sensing sensor may be electrically isolated from the second reference voltage line such that the remaining infrared light sensing sensors remain electrically connected to the second reference voltage line.
