Abstract: In a sensor apparatus, in particular a sensor apparatus for detecting ambient conditions of a motor vehicle, wherein the sensor apparatus comprises at least one screen which predefines the detection angle of the sensor apparatus and a detector and wherein an optical component is disposed between the screen and the detector, a greater detection angle is to be achieved. This is achieved whereby the optical component has at least one first and one second concavely curved region, the first inner region is disposed adjacent to the optic axis, where the second region surrounds the first region and that the first region has a stronger concave curvature than the second region.

Abstract: Electronic devices may include light sensors. The light sensors may include alignment features. The light sensors may be optically aligned with an aperture in an opaque structure. The opaque structure may be formed from an opaque material or a transparent material with an opaque coating. The light sensor may be mounted in a support structure that has been optically aligned with the aperture. The light sensor or the support structure may include extended portions that are transparent to ultraviolet light. Ultraviolet light may be transmitted through the extended portions to cure adhesive that attaches the light sensor or the support structure to the opaque structure. The light sensor may be optically aligned with the aperture by viewing the aperture through an opening in the support structure, by viewing the alignment features on the light sensor through the aperture or by gathering alignment data using the light sensor during alignment operations.

The screen is partial light-permeable and has a first surface and an opposite second surface. The object is disposed adjacent to the first surface of the screen. The detecting unit is disposed corresponding to the object and located adjacent to the second surface of the screen. The holding unit holds the relative distances between the screen, the object and the detecting unit. The detecting unit captures the image of the second surface of the screen so as to calculate the optical field distribution of the object. The detecting apparatus can measure the optical field distribution of an object quickly and has the advantages of low cost and high accuracy.
