Patent Images
1. A living-body information measuring device comprising:
- a plurality of light-emitting elements;
a light-receiving element that is disposed at a position at different distances from the light-emitting elements,wherein the light-receiving element is configured to receive reflected light beams that are reflected from a living body in response to the light-emitting elements emitting light beams toward the living body;
a control unit configured to control the light-emitting elements so that the light-emitting elements successively emit the light beams; and
a measurement unit configured to measure living-body information at a plurality of depths in the living body by using the reflected light beams that are successively received by the light-receiving element,wherein a mesa size of each light-emitting element decreases as the distance from the light-receiving element to the light-emitting element decreases and the mesa site of each light-emitting element increases as the distance from the light-receiving element to the light-emitting element increases.
