The monochromatic color sensor is a non-crystalline, adhered filter having a specific color transmission characteristic on the front surface of a Si photodiode. The incident light reaches a photodiode only through a wavelength in a certain range by a color filter.

In the integrated color sensor, red (R), green (G), and blue (B) filters corresponding to the three primary colors of light are bonded to the front surfaces of three photodiodes integrated on one substrate.

Therefore, since only the R, G, and B components reach the respective photodiodes, the original color can be identified according to the principle of the three primary colors of light.

In addition, the color sensing sensor 142 according to the present invention may provide a function of sensing at least one color included in an object photographed through the camera 121. [

Also, the display unit 151 may provide a light output function for emitting light to the outside.

The audio output module 152 may include a receiver, a speaker, a buzzer, and the like.

The alarm unit 153 outputs a signal for notifying the occurrence of an event of the terminal device. Examples of events that occur in a terminal device include receiving a call signal, receiving a message, inputting a key signal, and touch input. The alarm unit 153 may output a signal for notifying the occurrence of an event in a form other than the video signal or the audio signal, for example, vibration. The video signal or the audio signal may be output through the display unit 151 or the audio output module 152 so that they may be classified as a part of the alarm unit 153.

The haptic module 154 generates various tactile effects that the user can feel. A typical example of the haptic effect generated by the haptic module 154 is vibration. The intensity and pattern of the vibration generated by the hit module 154 can be controlled. For example, different vibrations may be synthesized and output or sequentially output.
