A method for detecting a biometric information includes providing a biometric sensor including a base substrate, a light emitting layer and a touch detection layer on the base substrate, an encapsulating cover on a side of the light emitting layer away from the base substrate, and a photo-sensing layer between the light emitting layer and the base substrate; determining a touch position of a touch by a touch sensing circuit; determining a scanning region based on the touch position; controlling the light emitting layer to form a scanning light source to scan the scanning region in a scanning pattern, the scanning region encompassing the touch position; determining a light intensity distribution of a reflected light reflected by the surface of the biometric sensor in touch with the skin of the user based on signals from the plurality of photosensors; and determining the biometric information based on the light intensity distribution.
