Abstract: An intraocular pressure (IOP) includes a transmission film component, which is in direct contact with intraocular aqueous humor and configured to sense pressure fluctuations in the intraocular aqueous humor; a reflective film component set on an inner side of the transmission film component; and an adhesion layer component set on an inner layer of the reflective film component and configured to connect to an attachment device. An enclosed space formed by the reflective film component and the transmission film component constitutes a resonance chamber, which is filled with a filling medium. When a pressure in the intraocular aqueous humor is changed, the transmission film component is deformed, resulting in a change in a near-infrared (NIR) spectrum reflected by the reflective film component; the IOP is detected according to the change of the NIR spectrum.

Abstract: This application provides a pixel of an image sensor and an image sensor. The pixel may include an optical-to-electrical conversion circuit and a composite measurement circuit. The optical-to-electrical conversion circuit may be configured to generate a first current based on incident light that is incident on the pixel. The composite measurement circuit is coupled to the optical-to-electrical conversion circuit. The pixel may have a first operating mode and a second operating mode. The composite measurement circuit may generate a first pulse signal based on the first current when the pixel operates in the first operating mode, where the first pulse signal represents the intensity information of the incident light. When the pixel operates in the second operating mode, the pixel receives a plurality of sampling signals, and generates a plurality of second pulse signals based on the first current and the plurality of sampling signals.

Abstract: This application provides a chip, a dynamic vision sensor, and a method for outputting pixel information. The chip includes a pixel array and a processing circuit, and each pixel row in the pixel array includes at least two pixel groups. In the processing circuit, based on a change of a light intensity value of at least one pixel in a first pixel group, a first signal including row location information of the first pixel group in the pixel array is generated, and a second signal including column location information of a pixel row in which the first pixel group is located is generated. The first signal and the second signal are sent to a pixel output circuit, to enable the pixel output circuit to accurately output location information of the first pixel group whose light intensity value changes in the pixel array.
