Abstract:
The present disclosure describes proximity sensor modules that include a time-of-flight (TOF) sensor. The module can include a plurality of chambers corresponding, respectively, to a light emission channel and a light detection channel. The channels can be optically separated from one another such that light from a light emitter element in the light emission chamber does not impinge directly on light sensitive elements of the TOF sensor in the light detection chamber. To achieve a module with a relatively small footprint, some parts of the TOF sensor can be located within the light emission chamber.
Abstract:
Light emitting modules, such as flash modules, include features to help reduce the visual impact of interior components and shield them from view. The features also may enhance the outer appearance of the module or of an appliance incorporating the module.
