The light sensor has a light receiving region, and receives light through the light receiving region. The optical filter covers the light receiving region. When the light passes through the optical filter within an incident angle range and is received by the light receiving region, the light sensor responds to a wavelength range of the light, and a response spectrum is obtained. Within the incident angle range, an absolute value of an offset measured at a crest of a waveform of the response spectrum is less than or equal to 10 nm. An electronic device is also provided.
