  • Patent number: 9190433
    Abstract: A stacked photodiode structure comprises a first-conductivity-type substrate, a second-conductivity-type well region and a first-conductivity-type well region. The first-conductivity-type substrate has a first surface for light incidence and a grounding terminal. The second-conductivity-type well region is formed in the first-conductivity-type substrate and adjacent to the first surface. The first-conductivity-type well region is formed in the second-conductivity-type well region and adjacent to the first surface. A PN junction between the first-conductivity-type well region and the second-conductivity-type well region generates free electrons responsive to visible light spectrum. A PN junction between the second-conductivity-type well region and the first-conductivity-type substrate generates free holes and free electrons responsive to mainly IR light.

  • Patent number: 9025166
    Abstract: An exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure illustrates a proximity sensing method used in a controller of a proximity sensing device. Firstly, a cross talk value is initialized. After the cross talk value is initialized, whether the cross talk value should be updated is judged at least according to a first sensing value currently received from a sensing unit of the proximity sensing device. When the cross talk value is judged to be updated, the cross talk value is updated at least according to a first sensing value. Then, a compensated sensing value is obtained by subtracting the cross talk value from the first sensing value.

    Abstract: An image processing method includes the following steps. The first step is utilizing a linear image capturing apparatus with odd number of image capturing units to capture image portions of object. Next step is taking the image portions which are captured by the first-end and the right-end image capturing units as the reference and comparing the image portions which are captured by the central image capturing units with the reference so as to correct and eliminate the overlapped noise. Next step is interlacing and re-constructing the processed image portions which have no overlapped portions as the integrated image.

  • Publication number: 20130077818
    Abstract: A detection method of an optical navigation device is disclosed. The device is used for determining whether an object is lifted from the optical navigation device or not. The method includes steps of reading the detection image detected by the optical navigation device, calculating the image signal value thereof during non-lift status, and integrating a historical threshold value with the image signal value according to adaptive factors for generating an adjustment threshold value serving as the navigation threshold of the detection image. The historical threshold value is the navigation threshold of a former detection image of the detection image. A step of comparing the adjustment threshold with the image signal value for determining whether the image signal value passes the navigation threshold or not may also be included. If the image signal value does not pass the navigation threshold, the object is determined as in the lift status.
