A image detector comprises a light source for radiating light in accordance with
a predetermined signal; a window for transmitting the light from the light source;
a thin film phototransistor for generating an optical current in accordance with
the intensity of external light; a storage capacitor for storing charge information
transmitted from the thin film phototransistor; a thin film switching transistor
for outputting the information stored in the storage capacitor in accordance with
an external control signal; an insulating layer for covering the window, the thin
film phototransistor, the storage capacitor, and the thin film switching transistor;
a protecting layer formed on the insulating layer; and a conductive object detection
pattern formed on the protecting layer to apply an electrical power supply signal
to the light source when a conductive living object contacts the conductive objecting
detecting pattern.
