  • Publication number: 20240137456
    Abstract: An optical sensor including a pixel matrix and an opaque layer is provided. The pixel matrix includes a plurality of unblocked pixels, a first pixel and a second pixel, which is arranged at a side of the first pixel in a row direction of the pixel matrix. The opaque layer covers upon a first region, which is a part of the first pixel, and upon a second region, which is a part of the second pixel, but does not cover upon the unblocked pixels, wherein the first region and the second region are symmetrically arranged in the row direction, and uncovered regions of the first pixel and the second pixel are arranged to be larger at a pixel edge than at a pixel center in a column direction of the pixel matrix.

  • Patent number: 10905340
    Abstract: A physiological detection device including a light source, an image sensor and a processor is provided. The light source illuminates a skin surface using a burst mode. The image sensor receives ejected light from skin tissues under the skin surface at a sampling frequency to successively generate image frames. The processor controls the light source and the image sensor, and calculates a physiological characteristic according to the image frames captured when the light source is illuminating light. The physiological detection device reduces the total power consumption by adopting the burst mode.
