    Abstract: An optical sensor includes: a light emitting element 40; a lower substrate 20 on which the light emitting element 40 is provided; an upper substrate 10 provided so that the light emitting element 40 is positioned between the upper substrate 10 and the lower substrate 20; and an optical block 30 provided on the upper substrate 10. The upper substrate 10 includes a division-type photodiode SD. The optical block 30 is configured to reflect light emitted from the light emitting element 40 toward a measurement target R, and light reflected by the measurement target R is incident onto the division-type photodiode SD.

    Abstract: In a signal processing circuit, an input terminal is configured to receive an analog signal output from an avalanche photodiode operating in Geiger mode. A comparison circuit outputs a signal based on a component exceeding a threshold among components a signal input to the comparison circuit. The adjustment circuit includes an AC coupling unit, a level shifter unit, and a reference value adjustment unit. The AC coupling unit establishes AC coupling between the input terminal and the comparison circuit. The level shifter unit adjusts the voltage of the signal input to the comparison circuit to a value lower than a reverse bias voltage applied to the avalanche photodiode. The reference value adjustment unit adjusts the reference value of the signal input to the comparison circuit.

    Abstract: A scanning-type display device includes: a light source which emits projection-display laser light; an optical scanning unit which uses the laser light emitted from the light source in scanning; and a light diffusion unit which includes a plurality of light diffusion channels arranged in two dimensions and diffuses the laser light used in scanning by the optical scanning unit. The light diffusion unit is configured so that an angle formed by optical paths extending to an eye of an observer through a pair of adjacent light diffusion channels arbitrarily selected from among the plurality of light diffusion channels becomes equal to or larger than an angle set on the basis of a resolution angle of the eye.

    Abstract: In a light detection device, each pixel includes a plurality of APDs. Each APD forms a light receiving region and is configured to operate in a Geiger mode. The plurality of APDs forms a plurality of light receiving regions arranged in a direction along a main surface in a pixel area α occupied by a corresponding pixel among a plurality of pixels. The MOS switch circuit region overlaps with the plurality of light receiving regions when viewed from a Z-axis direction. When viewed from the Z-axis direction, the area of the MOS switch circuit region is greater than the area of one light receiving region formed in the pixel area, and less than or equal to the area of the pixel area. A plurality of APDs included in each pixel is electrically connected in parallel to each other and each is connected to a MOS switch circuit.

    Abstract: In a light detection device, switches are connected in parallel to each other. Each of the switches is connected to an APD. A read line electrically connects the switch and a signal processor to each other. The switch is configured such that a second terminal is connected to the read line and a voltage greater than or equal to a breakdown voltage is applied to the APD in a conductive state. The switch is configured such that the second terminal is not connected to the read line and a voltage greater than or equal to a breakdown voltage is applied to the APD in the conductive state. The switch is configured such that the second terminal is not connected to the read line and a voltage less than a breakdown voltage is applied to the APD in the conductive state.

    Abstract: Each of a plurality of cells includes at least one avalanche photodiode. A light projecting unit is arranged to project light having a cross-sectional shape whose longitudinal direction corresponds to a first direction. The light projecting unit is arranged to scan the light along a second direction intersecting the first direction such that the reflected light is incident on, among N cell groups each of which includes M cells aligned in a row direction, each cell group or each plurality of cell groups. A controller is arranged to apply, in accordance with the incidence of the reflected light, a bias voltage that makes the avalanche photodiode operate in a Geiger mode to each cell group or each plurality of cell groups, and is arranged to read signals from cells included in the cell group or the plurality of cell groups to which the bias voltage has been applied.
