    Abstract: An image sensor may include a first photo-sensing device on a semiconductor substrate and configured to sense light of a first wavelength spectrum, and second and third photo-sensing devices integrated in the semiconductor substrate and configured to sense light of a second and third wavelength spectrum, respectively. The first photo-sensing device may overlap each of the second and third photo-sensing devices in a thickness direction of the semiconductor substrate. The second and third photo-sensing devices do not overlap in the thickness direction and each have an upper surface, a lower surface, and a doped region therebetween. The third photo-sensing device includes an upper surface deeper further from the upper surface of the semiconductor substrate than the upper surface of the second photo-sensing device and a doped region thicker than the doped region of the second photo-sensing device. The image sensor may omit the first photo-sensing device.

    Abstract: In a signal processing apparatus, a photoelectric conversion member includes a first photoelectric conversion layer configured to photoelectrically convert at least one of blue light or red light, and a second photoelectric conversion layer on an incident light surface of the first photoelectric conversion layer and configured to photoelectrically convert green light. An interpolation circuit is configured to interpolate at least one of a blue light signal or a red light signal obtained by photoelectric conversion in the first photoelectric conversion layer L1, using a green light signal obtained by photoelectric conversion in the second photoelectric conversion layer L2. An absorption correction circuit is configured to perform absorption correction on the green light signal, using at least one of the blue light signal or the red light signal that are interpolated by the interpolation circuit.

    Abstract: A fingerprint sensor may include first and second electrodes, a light absorption layer isolated from direct contact with the first and second electrodes, and an insulation layer between the first electrode and the light absorption layer and further between the second electrode and the light absorption layer. A reflective layer may be between the light absorption layer and the first electrode. The insulation layer may include a first insulation layer between the first electrode and the light absorption layer, and a second insulation layer between the second electrode and the light absorption layer. A fingerprint sensor array including a plurality of fingerprint sensors may at least partially expose a plurality of sub-pixels of a display panel on which the fingerprint sensor array is located.
