  • Publication number: 20230116903
    Abstract: A light pixel projection module includes a pixel light source, a light pixel projection assembly for projecting a light pixel generated by the light pixel generating assembly, and an optical time-of-flight (ToF) measurement assembly for measuring a distance between the projection module and an external object. The ToF measurement assembly includes a ToF light source, a beam splitting optical device for splitting an incident light beam into a reflected main beam component and a transmitted and attenuated secondary beam component, and an APD-based ToF photodetector for light detection. The beam splitting optical device is arranged in the optical path of light beams emitted by the ToF light source such that it splits each light beam emitted by the ToF light source into a main beam component leaving the module and heading towards the external object and a secondary beam component remaining within the module and hitting the ToF photodetector.
