  • Patent number: 12000459
    Abstract: An adjustment device includes a base, a ratchet wheel assembly and a fixing rod. The base includes an accommodating groove and ratchet teeth. The ratchet wheel assembly is rotatably accommodated in the accommodating groove and includes a body, an elastic arm, and a pawl. The elastic arm includes a first connecting segment connected to the body and a second connecting segment connected to the pawl. The pawl may engage with one of the ratchet teeth. The fixing rod movably extends between the body and the elastic arm. When the fixing rod is arranged between the second connecting segment and the body, the pawl is fixed to the ratchet teeth, so that the ratchet wheel assembly is positioned on the base. When the fixing rod is arranged between the first connecting segment and the body, the ratchet wheel assembly may rotate relative to the base.

  • Patent number: 11990488
    Abstract: A grid structure in a pixel array may be at least partially angled or tapered toward a top surface of the grid structure such that the width of the grid structure approaches a near-zero width near the top surface of the grid structure. This permits the spacing between color filter regions in between the grid structure to approach a near-zero spacing near the top surfaces of the color filter regions. The tight spacing of color filter regions provided by the angled or tapered grid structure provides a greater surface area and volume for incident light collection in the color filter regions. Moreover, the width of the grid structure may increase at least partially toward a bottom surface of the grid structure such that the wider dimension of the grid structure near the bottom surface of the grid structure provides optical crosstalk protection for the pixel sensors in the pixel array.
