  • Electrically-conductive grid shield for semiconductors
    Patent number: 6787380
    Abstract: An electrically-conductive grid placed between an LED and a photodiode prevents false triggers of the photodiode by transient electrical fields. The grid terminates the field but allows light output of the LED to pass to the photodiode.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 27, 2003
    Date of Patent: September 7, 2004
    Assignee: Vishay Infrared Components, Inc.
    Inventors: David Whitney, Anthony V. Souza
