Skin gloss measurement using Brewster's angle
A system includes a sensor for measuring a skin parameter. The sensor includes at least three spatially separated light sources for providing unpolarized visible light, a detector located at a first distance from each of the light sources selected from the range of 10-80 mm and at a second distance from the skin, and a polarizer including one or more of a segmented polarizer and a spatially varying polarizer. In a sensing mode, the light sources are configured to sequentially illuminate the skin with the light with optical axes at an angle of incidence selected from the range of 10°-80°, and the detector is configured to sequentially detect light reflected from the skin and generate corresponding detector signals.
Tissue hydration monitor
A tissue hydration monitor and method includes a sensor module having a plurality of LEDs positioned to emit a plurality of different wavelengths of light toward the user's skin and a detector that detects light transmitted and reflected through the user's skin to generate signals corresponding to an intensity of detected light at each of the different wavelengths. A processor/controller module generates a baseline hydration level based on the received signals, calculates a relative hydration level, and generates an output indicative of relative hydration personalized to the user. The housing is secured against the user's skin by an adhesive patch or a strap.
Antioxidant sensor and method of measuring antioxidant value
An antioxidant sensor includes a pressure sensor configured to obtain a contact pressure between an object and an optical sensor; the optical sensor configured to, based on the obtained contact pressure exceeding a set threshold pressure, emit a first light of a first wavelength to the object, and receive the first light reflected or scattered from the object; and a processor configured to determine a contact portion of the object in contact with the optical sensor, set a threshold pressure, among different threshold pressures, according to the determined contact portion, and determine an antioxidant value based on the received first light.
DISPLAY DEVICE AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF
A display device including a display panel that displays an image, an input sensor disposed on the display panel, and a readout circuit that receives sensing signals from the input sensor and outputs a moisture level signal, in a skin measurement mode.
