Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with a display mounted in a housing. A directional ambient light sensor may measure the intensity and direction of ambient light. The ambient light sensor may be mounted in alignment with a light sensor window formed in an inactive area of the display. The ambient light sensor may be formed from detectors on a semiconductor substrate. Incident light angle restriction structures may define openings for each detector. Each opening may be configured to allow light with a different range of angle of incidence values to be passed to a respective one of the detectors. The ranges of acceptance angle for adjacent detectors may overlap. A sensor may produce a diffuse light reading by processing ambient light data from a diffuse light detector and a directional light detector. The diffuse and directional light detectors may be formed on a common semiconductor substrate.

Abstract: A technique for effectively detecting abnormal values in electromagnetic wave measurement is provided. An electromagnetic wave measuring device includes a measurement data receiving unit 308, an abnormal value detecting unit 309, and a GUI controlling unit 306. The measurement data receiving unit 308 receives measurement data of electromagnetic waves that are measured at multiple positions. The abnormal value detecting unit 309 detects an abnormal value in the measurement data. The GUI controlling unit 306 displays a position at which the abnormal value is measured, on a display.
