    Abstract: A proximity sensor includes a triangulating optical arrangement and a non-triangulating optical arrangement. The triangulating optical arrangement has a blind zone near a primary photosensor, whereas the non-triangulating arrangement is able to detect objects within the blind zone using a secondary photosensor which works with a common illumination source as the triangulating optical arrangement.
