  • Patent number: 11262060
    Abstract: A light source device includes a substrate, an electrode layer and an annular step-like surrounding frame both disposed on the substrate, a light emitter and a light detector both spaced apart from each other and mounted on the electrode layer in the surrounding frame, and a light permeable member disposed on the surrounding frame. The surrounding frame includes an upper tread arranged away from the substrate, an upper riser connected to an inner edge of the upper tread, a lower tread arranged at an inner side of the upper riser, and a lower riser connected to an inner edge of the lower tread and arranged away from the upper tread. The surrounding frame has a notch recessed in the lower tread and the lower riser for spatially communicating an inner side of the surrounding frame to an external space.

  • Patent number: 11035563
    Abstract: A light source device includes a substrate, an upper electrode layer and a lower electrode layer respectively disposed on two opposite surfaces of the substrate, a plurality of first conductive posts and second conductive posts embedded in the substrate and having the same number, a light emitter, a surrounding frame surrounding the light emitter, and a light permeable member disposed on the surrounding frame and covering the light emitter. The first conductive posts connect a first upper electrode pad of the upper electrode layer and a first lower electrode pad of the lower electrode layer. The second conductive posts connect a second upper electrode pad of the upper electrode layer and a second lower electrode pad of the lower electrode layer. The light emitter is mounted on the first upper electrode pad and is electrically connected to the second upper electrode pad.

  • Patent number: 10895374
    Abstract: A light source device includes a substrate, an upper electrode layer and a lower electrode layer both respectively disposed on two opposite surfaces of the substrate, a light emitting unit mounted on the upper electrode layer, a surrounding frame disposed on the substrate and surrounding the light emitting unit, a conductive unit disposed on the surrounding frame, a light permeable member disposed on the surrounding frame and covering the light emitting unit, and a detecting circuit formed on an outer surface of the light permeable member. The lower electrode layer includes two coplanar sub-layers. The light emitting unit is electrically coupled to one of the two sub-layers through the upper electrode layer. The detecting circuit includes two contacts connected to the conductive unit, and is electrically coupled to the second lower electrode sub-layer by the conductive unit electrically coupled to the other one of the two sub-layers.

  • Patent number: 10866375
    Abstract: A light source device and an electronic apparatus are provided. The light source device includes a substrate, an electrode layer and a surrounding frame disposed on the substrate, a light emitter and a light detector mounted on the electrode layer and located inside of the surrounding frame, and a light permeable member disposed on the surrounding frame and covering the light emitter and the light detector. When the light emitter receives a predetermined current so as to emit an invisible light toward the light permeable member, the light detector receives a reflected part of the invisible light to generate an initial photocurrent. When the light emitter receives a manipulation current so that a detection photocurrent generated from the light detector is less than a first proportion of the initial photocurrent or greater than a second proportion of the initial photocurrent, the light emitter stops receiving the manipulation current.
