Abstract: Light-sensor devices are disclosed for use with a color display such as a CRT, LCD, plasma display, or other type of display. The device includes an arm having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein a light sensor is situated on or near the distal end. A mover, coupled to or near the proximal end, is configured to move the arm to place the sensor selectively at a parked position and at a measurement position.

Abstract: A light sensor having first and second photodetectors and a current mirror is disclosed. The first photodetector receives a light signal and generates a light current proportional to the light intensity received by the first photodetector and a dark current that is independent of the light intensity. The second photodetector is connected in series with the first photodetector at a first node. The second photodetector has a covering that prevents light from reaching the second photodetector. The second photodetector generates a current equal to the dark current. The first photodetector is connected to a power source and the second photodetector is connected to an output node. The current mirror is connected to the first node and the output node and generates an output current that is proportional to the light current through the output node when the output node is connected to an external circuit.

Abstract: An apparatus for testing reflectivity of a lens includes an integrating sphere, a light source, a moveable carrier, a detector, and a processor. The integrating sphere has a sampling port for permitting light transfer with a lens to be tested and an exit port configured for transmitting light beams reflected by the lens out from the integrating sphere. The light source generates light beams with a wavelength in a certain range and projects the light beams to the lens. The moveable carrier allows a relative movement between the lens and the integrating sphere. The detector includes a light sensor configured for detecting the light intensity transmitted out from the exit port and transforming it into a reflection comparison signal. The processor is configured for comparing a reference signal of light intensity projected to the lens with the reflection comparison signal to obtain reflectivity of the lens.

Abstract: A photoelectric converter comprising a resin layer that absorbs infrared light cuts out unnecessary infrared light, while the photoelectric converter has a problem that the resin layer also reduces the transmission of light in the visible range. A photoelectric converter improving the problem comprises a semiconductor substrate (2) on which photoelectric conversion elements are formed, a color filter (8) provided on the semiconductor substrate (2), and a support base (21) bonded to the color filter (8), wherein an interference filter (11) comprised of multiple thin layers of dielectric material laminated together and reflecting infrared light is provided to the support base (21). As a result, light attenuation can be minimized while infrared light is cut, and the usage efficiency of light can be increased. A photoelectric converter adjusted to the luminous efficiency of the human eye can be obtained by adjusting the light transmittance characteristics of the color filter (8) to the luminous efficiency of the human eye.
