  • Patent number: 9635302
    Abstract: An active pixel sensor device and the method thereof include an active pixel sensing array and a synchronous reading circuit. The active pixel sensing array is formed by a plurality of sensing pixels disposed in a form of an array. Each sensing pixel has a power terminal. The synchronous reading circuit connects to the power terminals of all sensing pixels, detects a summation of currents flowing through all sensing pixels, converts the summation of currents to an output signal, and outputs the output signal that represents the optical sensing information. In addition to reading each sensing pixel, the active pixel sensor device further controls the synchronous reading circuit to read the output signal corresponding to the summation of currents of all sensing pixels. The active pixel sensor device using the same active pixel sensing array can be applied to large-area sensing.
