  • MOLDED BEAM FOR OPTOELECTRONIC SENSOR CHIP SUBSTRATE
    Publication number: 20110309531
    Abstract: A substrate on which a plurality of epoxy over molded integrated circuit dies are formed includes a beam formed on the substrate for providing stiffness to the substrate. The beam includes structure having a cross-sectional shape, for example, substantially in the shape of a trapezoid, “T” or “L”, and may be formed on the top or bottom surface of the substrate.
    Type: Application

  • Lens for Ambient Light Sensor
    Publication number: 20070176081
    Abstract: A lens assembly for use with an ambient light sensor includes a housing having a top surface and including an aperture. An ambient light sensor is mounted within the housing adjacent to the housing aperture. A lens is mounted within the housing aperture for collecting ambient light impinging on the housing and for transmitting the collected light to the ambient light sensor, such that the transmitted light is directed over an area on the ambient light sensor that is greater than the area of the housing aperture.
