PURPOSE:To prevent erroneous operation due to the variation in external temp. or the deterioration of a light emitting element, by constituting the light receiving element by parallelly arranging a plurality of elements having the same characteristic and detecting moving matter from the differential change in the detection outputs of the elements. CONSTITUTION:A light emitting diode 1 and two photodiodes PD1, PD2 are arranged to both sides of the moving path of matter 2 to be measured so as to interpose the same therebetween and the matter 2 to be measured is allowed to move so as to traverse the light paths between the light emitting diode 1 and two photodiodes PD1, PD2. By this method, the change in the shortcircuit currents of two photodiodes PD1, PD2 is detected and the position of the matter to be measured is detected from the variation in the difference between detection outputs.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To surely correct output fluctuations caused by a change in ambient temperature. SOLUTION: A temperature correction resistor 21 is provided between an output terminal 16 and a ground section of a signal processing circuit 15 installed in a signal processing IC 4 mounted on a lead frame together with a light receiving element. When an output level of the signal processing circuit 15 fluctuates caused by a change in ambient temperature, a resistance value of the temperature correction resistor 21 is adjusted so that the fluctuations in the output level are canceled out. The output fluctuations of the signal processing circuit 15 caused by a change in ambient temperature can be thereby surely corrected. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical device that has a lens structure having a thick lens section with a wide area, and to provide an electronic apparatus incorporating such an optical device. SOLUTION: The lens structure 10 has a lens section 11 and a skirt section 12 extending from the edge 11t of the lens section 11. The skirt section 12 is extended so as to have two flat faces in a direction intersecting the optical axis of the lens section 11 from the edge 11t. The skirt section 12 has leg sections 13 at the peripheral edges. The lens structure 10 is formed by integrally injection molding a synthetic resin into the lens section and skirt section 11 and 12. The injection molding is conducted by injecting the synthetic resin from a molding gate FG to a molding gate receiving section 14. The molding gate receiving section 14 is disposed at the end of the skirt section 12 and is configured to facilitate injection molding. As in the skirt section 12, the molding gate receiving section 14 has two flat surfaces disposed parallel to the direction intersecting the optical axis of the lens section 11.

The condensing lens 38 is fitted to the case subassembly 30 so that it can freely travel and the condensing lens 38 is fixed after output adjustment. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent a false distance measurement from occurring due to shifting of an object in relation to radiation light. SOLUTION: A light blocking section made up of a light blocking resin 16 having a window 17 is disposed at a light emitting section which contains a light emitting chip 12 mounted on a lead frame 11, thereby blocking a spread portion of radiation light caused by reflection light from the lead frame 11. As a result, even in the case the object which should be in the center section of the radiation light, is shifted along an alignment direction of the light emitting chip 12 and a light receiving chip 13 so as to be deviated from a portion of the radiation light, since the spread portion of the radiation light is blocked and does not exist there, reflection light of the spread portion of the radiation light from the object is prevented from entering the light receiving chip 13. Therefore, the false distance measurement is prevented from occurring due to the shifting of the object in relation to radiation light. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inexpensive object detector of high reliability about a stable operation for a long period, and of low limitation in view point of use, and provide an electronic equipment provided therewith. SOLUTION: Five LEDs (infrared ray emitting elements) 3-0 to 3-4 are arranged to define a plane in a view from emission directions of the five LEDs 3-0 to 3-4. The five LEDs 3-0 to 3-4 emit a near infrared ray I1. A reflected ray I1' generated by an inspection object H gets incident thereby on one photoreception face of a PSD 4 through a convergence lens 6. The PSD 4 outputs a signal expressing a distance up to the inspection object H in response to a position of the incident ray within the photoreception face. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical range finding sensor capable of preventing measuring precision of a distance from getting worse along with a measured object getting distant, without bringing size enlargement and cost increase. SOLUTION: Near infrared wavelength of rays emitted from an LED 1 are brought into a parallel beam by a light emitting side lens 2 to be projected to the measured object 10. A reflected beam by the measured object 10 gets incident into a PSD 5 via a photoreception side lens 3 and a prism 4. Since the prism 4 has a refractive characteristic of making a ratio of a variation of an emission angle to a variation of an incident angle get large along with the incident angle of the beam getting small, the variation of the emission angle of the emission beam from the prism 4 can be made substantially equal between the case where the measured object 10 is located in a near distance position and the case where the measured object 10 is located in a distant position, when the position of the measured object 10 is changed. The measuring precision when the measured object 10 is located in the distant position is thereby made substantially equal to that when the measured object 10 is located in the near distance position.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical ranging sensor which has no sound, is relatively good in long term stability, can reduce the size and cost and has relatively high measurement accuracy. SOLUTION: The light emitted from a plurality of LEDs 51 to 55 is transmitted through one emitting lens 1 and reflection light reflected with a detection target 32 is received with PSD4 through a receiving lens 2. The direction of the target 32 is detected by the light emission direction from the LEDs 51 to 55 and the distance to the target 32 is detected based on the reception position of the reflection light on the receiving surface of PSD4. By receiving far infrared rays L10 with a pyroelectric sensor 30, whether the detected target 32 is a human body or not is detected. Since emission light of plurality of LEDs 51 to 55 are transmitted in the one receiving lens 1, reduction of the size and cost of the optical ranging sensor can be attained.
