1. A detecting device, comprising:
a flexible substrate;
a first light-emitting unit provided at the flexible substrate and configured to emit light toward a living body;
a first light-receiving unit provided at the flexible substrate and configured to receive the light, based on the light exiting from the first light-emitting unit, from the living body; and
a first light-blocking filter configured to block some of the light exiting from the first light-emitting unit, wherein
the first light-emitting unit is constituted by a flexible organic light-emitting diode,
the first light-receiving unit is constituted by a flexible organic photodetector,
the detecting device is configured to be adhered to a cover member that comes into contact with the living body,
the light exiting from the first light-emitting unit passes through the cover member and is incident on the living body,
the first light-emitting unit, the first light-receiving unit, and the flexible substrate are configured to deform in accordance with a convex shape of the cover member,
the detecting device is configured to be adhered to a first surface of the cover member which faces inward and is opposite to a second surface of the cover member that faces outward and comes into contact with the living body, and
in a state in which the detecting device is not adhered to the cover member, an end portion on an opposite side of the first light-emitting unit from the first light-receiving unit overlaps the first light-blocking filter when viewed from a normal direction of the flexible substrate.
