Abstract

A detection element of biological subcutaneous features and a wearable device thereof are provided. The element for detecting biological subcutaneous features has a substrate, a light-detecting semiconductor chip, a grid structure, and a cover. The light-detecting semiconductor chip is located on the substrate for detecting red light or near-infrared light signals. The grid structure including a plurality of opaque light-absorbing blocking walls is located on the light-detecting semiconductor chip for blocking side light and increasing the proportion of near-vertical incident light. The cover is located on the grid structure and serves as a protection lid. The wearable device for detecting biological subcutaneous features has more than one light source of red light or near-infrared light and a plurality of detection elements. The arrangement of the opaque light-absorbing blocking walls that are parallel to each other are substantially parallel to the light-emitting directions of the light source.
