Disclosed is a non-contact wrist thermometer including a controller that controls to measure temperature, corrects the measured temperature of the wrist to calculate body temperature, and controls the calculated body temperature to be displayed on the display.

However, the conventional non-contact type thermometer as described above has a problem in that only the natural body temperature measurement function by the infrared sensor is provided, and various other functions cannot be provided.
