Abstract: One embodiment relates to a laser positioning device for sensing relative movement between a data input device and a surface (120) by determining displacement of image features in a succession of images of the surface. The device forms a single integrated package, which includes a planar substrate (102) and a transparent encapsulant that also embodies a collimating lens (108). Both a coherent light source (104) and a sensor array (106) and associated circuitry are configured on the planar substrate. Another embodiment relates to a method of sensing relative movement between a data input device and a surface. Coherent light is emitted from a laser and collimated so as to form a collimated illumination beam with a predetermined diameter, D, and a substantially uniform phase front. A speckle pattern is generated by impingement of the collimated illumination beam on the surface and detected by a sensor array. Other embodiments are also disclosed.

Abstract: One embodiment described relates to an optical displacement sensor for sensing movement of a data input device across a surface (304) by detecting displacement of optical features in a succession of images of the surface (304). The sensor includes a detector having an array (for example, 1502) including a number (N) of sets of photosensitive elements, each set having a number (M) of photosensitive elements, where M is greater than two and not equal to four. Signals from each of the photosensitive elements in a set are electrically coupled or combined with (see, for example, 1202) corresponding photosensitive elements in other sets to produce a total of M independent group signals from M interlaced groups of photosensitive elements. Other embodiments are also described.
