    Abstract: A photodetector includes a metal layer that shields incident light and generates surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs), a light absorbing layer that absorbs the generated SPPs and allows charges excited by the absorbed SPPs and a localized electric field effect to tunnel, a dielectric formed at nanoholes in which at least a part of the metal layer is opened, and a semiconductor layer that induces the photocurrent based on an electric field effect of tunneled electrons. The SPPs form localized surface plasmons (LSPs) at an interface where the metal layer meets the dielectric.

    Abstract: A thin-film transistor (TFT) photodetector for a display panel is provided. The TFT photodetector includes an amorphous transparent substrate used as the display panel, a source formed of amorphous silicon or polycrystalline silicon on the transparent substrate, a drain formed of amorphous silicon or polycrystalline silicon, opposite to the source on the transparent substrate, an active layer formed between the source and the drain and having a current channel formed between the source and the drain, an insulating oxide film formed on the source, the drain, and the active layer, and a light receiving part formed on the insulating oxide film and configured to absorb light. When light is incident on the light receiving part, electrons migrate by tunneling through the insulating oxide film between the light receiving part and the active layer which have been excited with the insulating oxide film in between, the amount of charge in the light receiving part is changed by the migration of the electrons, a threshold voltage of the current channel is changed due to the change of the amount of charge, and photocurrent flows through the current channel due to the change of the threshold voltage.

    Abstract: Disclosed in an embodiment is an operating method of portable apparatus for noninvasively measuring blood glucose levels. The method includes: (a) measuring a first signal value according to ambient environmental light when an LED for measuring signals which emits light with wavelengths to be absorbed into or scattered by glucose is switched off; (b) measuring a second signal value according to light which is scattered by or transmitted through subject tissue and enters a photodetecting unit when the LED for measuring signals is switched on; (c) calculating a glucose concentration measurement of a subject by using the first signal value and the second signal value; and (d) adjusting the quantity of the light radiated from the LED for measuring signals by feeding the difference between the glucose concentration measurement and a pre-established first reference value back to the driving current for the LED for measuring signals.
