Abstract: A device and a method for detecting a light irradiating angle are disclosed. The device, used to detect the incident direction of a light ray, includes a solar sensor and a processor. The sensing unit of the solar sensor has sensing areas. The sensing areas correspondingly generate sensing signals based on the intensity of the light ray. A mask covers the sensing unit and has an X-shaped light transmitting portion. The light ray transmits the X-shaped light transmitting portion to form an X-axis light ray and a Y-axis light ray. The X-axis light ray intersects the Y-axis light ray. The X-axis light ray and the Y-axis light ray fall on the sensing area. The processor, coupled to the sensing unit, receives the sensing signals and determines information of the incident direction according to the sensing signals.

Abstract: An optical system affixed to an electronic apparatus is provided, including a first optical module, a second optical module, and a third optical module. The first optical module is configured to adjust the moving direction of a first light from a first moving direction to a second moving direction, wherein the first moving direction is not parallel to the second moving direction. The second optical module is configured to receive the first light moving in the second moving direction. The first light reaches the third optical module via the first optical module and the second optical module in sequence. The third optical module includes a first photoelectric converter configured to transform the first light into a first image signal.

Abstract: A solar cell hollow circuit is provided. The solar cell hollow circuit includes a substrate, a first conductive layer, a photoelectric conversion layer and a second conductive layer. The first conductive layer is formed on the substrate. The photoelectric conversion layer is formed on the first conductive layer. The second conductive layer is formed on the photoelectric conversion layer. A hollow surround area is formed on the substrate by the first conductive layer, the photoelectric conversion layer and the second conductive layer. The hollow surround area defines an opening and a positive contact or a negative contact corresponding to the opening.
