Abstract

A bio-information detecting sensor according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a flexible substrate, light emitting parts disposed on the flexible substrate, and a light receiving part disposed on the flexible substrate and having a donut shape surrounding the light emitting parts.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A bio-information detecting sensor comprising:
a flexible substrate;
light emitting parts disposed on the flexible substrate; and
a light receiving part disposed on the flexible substrate and having a donut shape surrounding the light emitting parts,
wherein:
the light emitting parts include a first light emitting part and a second light emitting part; and
the light receiving part includes a first hole in which the first light emitting part is disposed and a second hole in which the second light emitting part is disposed.

2. The bio-information detecting sensor of claim 1 , wherein the first light emitting part and the second light emitting part are disposed apart from the light receiving part by a predetermined distance.

3. The bio-information detecting sensor of claim 1 , wherein the light receiving part has a shape of a number 8.

4. The bio-information detecting sensor of claim 1 , wherein a wavelength of light emitted by the first light emitting part is different from a wavelength of light emitted by the second light emitting part.

5. The bio-information detecting sensor of claim 1 , wherein each of the first light emitting part and the second light emitting part includes an organic light emitting diode.

6. The bio-information detecting sensor of claim 5 , wherein:
the first light emitting part includes a green organic light emitting diode or an infrared organic light emitting diode; and
the second light emitting part includes a red organic light emitting diode.

7. The bio-information detecting sensor of claim 1 , wherein the light receiving part includes an organic photodiode.

8. The bio-information detecting sensor of claim 1 , wherein:
the light receiving part includes a first light receiving part having the first hole and a second light receiving part having the second hole; and
an area of an upper surface of the first light receiving part is different from that of an upper surface of the second light receiving part.

9. The bio-information detecting sensor of claim 1 , wherein an opening of each of the first hole and the second hole has any one among circular, elliptical, and polygonal shapes.

10. A bio-information detecting sensor comprising:
a flexible substrate;
light emitting parts disposed on the flexible substrate;
a light receiving part disposed on the flexible substrate and having a donut shape surrounding the light emitting parts;
a resin layer disposed on the flexible substrate; and
a cover substrate disposed on the resin layer,
wherein the resin layer covers the light emitting parts and the light receiving part, and each of the flexible substrate and the cover substrate includes a protective layer configured to prevent permeation of moisture or oxygen.

11. The bio-information detecting sensor of claim 10 , wherein the resin layer includes an ultraviolet-curing resin layer.
