Abstract

An image sensing device includes a sensing module and an invisible light transmitter. The sensing module includes pixel sets arranged on a substrate. The pixel set includes sub pixels, an invisible light sensor, and a focus adjustment member. The sub pixels and the invisible light sensor are arranged in an array. The sub pixel includes a visible light photo diode. The invisible light sensor includes an invisible light photo diode. The focus adjustment member is between the substrate and the visible light photo diode or the invisible light photo diode. The focus adjustment member makes a distance between the visible light photo diode and the substrate less than or greater than a distance between the invisible light photo diode and the substrate. The invisible light transmitter is disposed corresponding to the sensing module. The invisible light sensor is configured to sense invisible light transmitted by the invisible light transmitter.

Claims (12)
