The portions of the optical sensor 10 provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below:
the substrate 110 may be a glass substrate, a quartz substrate, a silicon oxide substrate, a plastic substrate, or the like, and the substrate 110 serves as a structural support. The substrate 110 has at least one plane for arranging the photosensitive belt 120, etc. In practical applications, the surface of the substrate 110 opposite to the cloth plane is also a plane, and the plane is parallel to the cloth plane.
The photoreceptor belt 120 is disposed on the substrate 110, and the band gap of the photoreceptor belt 120 is gradually changed along a predetermined direction. The photoreceptor belt 120 is used to receive optical signals and convert the optical signals into electrical signals. The bandgap of the photoreceptor belt 120 is graded in a predetermined direction, i.e., different regions of the photoreceptor belt 120 are capable of responding to different wavelengths of light. The wavelength range and intensity of the ambient light are determined by the signals generated by the portions of the photoreceptor belt 120 with different band gaps in response to illumination, and the color temperature of the ambient light is determined.
Wherein the photosensitive belt 120 is disposed along a first direction, and a band gap of the photosensitive belt 120 monotonously changes along the first direction. That is, the band gap of the photoreceptor belt 120 changes monotonically along the length of the photoreceptor belt 120. Of course, in practical applications, the bandgap of the photoreceptor belt 120 may also be shifted non-monotonically.
The photoreceptor belt 120 may be capable of sensing at least visible light (wavelengths 480 nm-650 nm), and the photoreceptor belt 120 may be capable of sensing light of a wider range of wavelengths, for example, the photoreceptor belt 120 may be capable of sensing infrared short wave light, which has a greater effect on weak light shooting.

For example, the elemental selenium content gradually decreases and the elemental sulfur content gradually increases along the length of the photoreceptor belt 120. The ratio of elemental selenium to elemental sulfur in the photoreceptor belt 120 is from 1: 0 gradually changes to 0: 1.
the electrode layer includes N electrodes 130, the N electrodes 130 are respectively connected to the photoreceptor belt 120, the photoreceptor belt 120 is divided into N-1 photoreceptor segments 121 by the N electrodes 130, band gaps of the photoreceptor segments 121 in the N-1 photoreceptor segments 121 are different, the photoreceptor segments 121 are used for converting optical signals of corresponding frequency bands into electrical signals, and the electrodes 130 are used for outputting the electrical signals.

The electrode layer comprises 10 electrodes 130 and the photoreceptor belt 120 is divided into 9 photoreceptor segments 121.
The plurality of electrodes 130 may be equally spaced on the photoreceptor belt 120, i.e., each photoreceptor segment 121 may have a uniform length. Or the spacing of the plurality of electrodes 130 on the photoreceptor belt 120 may be different, i.e., the length of each photoreceptor segment 121 is not uniform, which is not particularly limited by the embodiments of the present disclosure.
Any two adjacent electrodes 130 of the N electrodes 130 and the photosensitive section 121 between the two electrodes 130 form a photosensitive unit. The photosensitive section 121 senses light with a corresponding wavelength to generate an electrical signal, and when the two electrodes 130 connected to the photosensitive section 121 are connected to a signal acquisition circuit, the signal of the photosensitive section 121 is output through the signal acquisition circuit.
For example, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the signals collected by each photosensitive segment 121 may be sequentially output in a scanning manner. For example, starting from the light sensing segment 121 at the beginning of the light sensing belt 120, the light sensing signals are sequentially output by the N-1 light sensing segments 121.
As shown in fig. 4, the collecting circuit may include a plurality of collecting units 170, and each collecting unit 170 is correspondingly connected to one electrode 130 to collect the photosensitive signal generated by the corresponding photosensitive section 121.

Two sides of the electrode 130 are respectively provided with a photosensitive section 121, the photosensitive section 121 on one side of the electrode 130 is a first photosensitive section 121, and the photosensitive section 121 on the other side of the electrode 130 is a second photosensitive section 121. Illustratively, the first photosensitive section 121 and the second photosensitive section 121 are arranged in the scanning direction, that is, the signal of the first photosensitive section 121 is output first, and the signal of the second photosensitive section 121 is output second.
During the first period, the first photosensitive segment 121 outputs a signal, and at this time, the first switch 161 in the switching circuit 160 is turned on in response to the first scanning signal, and the electrode 130 is connected to the collecting unit 170. The second photosensitive segment 121 outputs a signal during the second period, and at this time, the second switch 162 in the switching circuit 160 is turned on in response to the second scan signal, and the electrode 130 is grounded. The active level of the second scan signal is adjacent to the active level of the first scan signal.
In operation, the photosensitive segments 121 and the acquisition units 170 form an acquisition loop, which is achieved by the switching circuit 160 connected to the electrodes 130. That is, one end of the photosensitive section 121 is grounded, and the other end of the photosensitive section 121 is connected to the pickup unit 170.
The switching circuit 160 and the collecting unit 170 may be provided to the substrate 110. A photosensitive region and an acquisition region may be included on the substrate 110, the acquisition region being adjacent to the photosensitive region, the photosensitive belt 120 being disposed in the photosensitive region, the switching circuit 160 and the acquisition unit 170 being disposed in the acquisition region, the electrode 130 extending from the photosensitive region to the acquisition region, the electrode 130 connecting the photosensitive belt 120 and the switching circuit 160. Certainly, in practical applications, the switching circuit 160 and the collecting unit 170 may also be disposed outside the substrate 110, for example, the switching circuit 160 and the collecting unit 170 may be disposed on a motherboard of an electronic device, and the embodiment of the disclosure is not limited thereto.
The collecting unit 170 may include an amplifying circuit connected to the second switch 162, and the amplifying circuit is configured to amplify the signal generated by the photosensitive section 121 and output the amplified signal. The amplified signal is used to determine the color temperature of the ambient light.
The switches in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be MOS transistors, each of which has a control terminal, a first terminal and a second terminal. Specifically, the control end of each MOS transistor may be a gate, the first end may be a source, and the second end may be a drain; or, the control terminal of each MOS transistor may be a gate, the first terminal may be a drain, and the second terminal may be a source. In addition, each MOS transistor may also be an enhancement transistor or a depletion transistor, which is not specifically limited in this example embodiment.
The electrode layer is disposed on a side of the photoreceptor belt 120 away from the substrate 110 with a gap between the electrode layer and the substrate 110, the electrode 130 intersects the photoreceptor belt 120, and the photoreceptor belt 120 and the electrode 130 are ohmically connected at the intersection of the electrode 130 and the photoreceptor belt 120.
When the electrode layer is disposed on a side of the photoreceptor belt 120 away from the substrate 110, since the photoreceptor belt 120 has a certain thickness, a gap exists between the electrode 130 and the substrate 110, and the existence of the gap causes the electrode 130 to be suspended, which may cause the electrode 130 to be broken. In order to solve this technical problem, the optical sensor 10 provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure may further include a support layer 140, where the support layer 140 is disposed on the substrate 110, and the support layer 140 fills a gap between the substrate 110 and the electrode 130, and the photosensitive belt 120 is embedded in the support layer 140.
The support layer 140 is a transparent support layer or a black support layer. The support layer 140 is a transparent support layer or a black support layer, which can prevent light from changing color through the support layer 140, thereby causing the light to be detected by the photoreceptor belt 120 with an error.
The support layer 140 may be a photoresist layer, and in order to prevent the color of the photoresist from affecting the detection result, the photoresist may be a black photoresist or a transparent photoresist. In practice, the photoreceptor belt 120 may be formed on the substrate 110, and the substrate 110 may be coated with a photoresist after the photoreceptor belt 120 is formed. And after coating the photoresist, shielding the photoresist by using a mask plate for exposure and etching, and forming a plurality of grooves on the photoresist. The grooves on the photoresist may be deposited or printed to form a plurality of electrodes 130.
It is understood that an electrode layer may also be disposed between the photoreceptor belt 120 and the substrate 110 with a gap between the photoreceptor belt 120 and the substrate 110, the electrode 130 intersecting the photoreceptor belt 120, and the photoreceptor belt 120 and the electrode 130 being ohmically connected at the intersection of the electrode 130 and the photoreceptor belt 120.
When the electrode layer is disposed between the substrate 110 and the photoreceptor belt 120, since the electrode 130 has a certain thickness, a gap exists between the photoreceptor belt 120 and the substrate 110, and the existence of the gap causes the photoreceptor belt 120 to be suspended, which may cause the risk of breaking the photoreceptor belt 120. In order to solve the technical problem, the optical sensor 10 provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure may further include a supporting layer 140, where the supporting layer 140 is disposed on the substrate 110, and the supporting layer 140 fills a gap between the substrate 110 and the electrode 130, and the electrode 130 is embedded in the supporting layer 140.
The support layer 140 is a transparent support layer 140 or a black support layer 140. The transparent support layer 140 or the black support layer 140 prevents light from changing color through the support layer 140, which may cause the photoreceptor belt 120 to detect errors in light.
The support layer 140 may be a photoresist layer, and in order to prevent the color of the photoresist from affecting the detection result, the photoresist may be a black photoresist or a transparent photoresist. In practical applications, a plurality of electrodes 130 may be formed on the substrate 110, and a photoresist may be coated on the substrate 110 after the electrodes 130 are formed. And after coating the photoresist, shielding the photoresist by using a mask plate for exposure and etching, and forming a groove on the photoresist. A photoreceptor belt 120 is formed in the recess in the photoresist.
Further, in order to avoid the influence of ambient stray light or a light source inside the electronic device 100 on the detection result of the optical sensor 10, the optical sensor 10 provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure may further include light shielding portions, the light shielding portions are disposed at two sides of the photosensitive belt 120, and the light incident from the side portions of the photosensitive belt 120 can be shielded by the light shielding portions, so that the photosensitive belt 120 only receives the light incident from the front of the optical sensor 10, and the detection accuracy of the color temperature is improved.
The electrode 130 may be a transparent electrode 130, and the transparent electrode 130 can prevent the electrode 130 from influencing the incidence of light, which is beneficial to improving the detection precision. For example, the electrode 130 may be an ITO electrode 130, an aluminum electrode 130, or a silver electrode 130, etc.

Wherein, when the switching circuit 160 and the pickup unit 170 are provided to the substrate 110, the transfer part 131 may connect the photoreceptor belt 120 and the switching circuit 160, respectively. The pin portion 132 is connected to the acquisition unit 170, and the pin portion 132 is used for outputting signals acquired by the acquisition unit 170. The transmission part 131 may be a transparent electrode 130, and the lead part 132 may be a conventional lead, for example, the lead part 132 may be a gold finger.
When the switching circuit 160 and the pickup unit 170 are disposed outside the substrate 110, the transmission part 131 is directly connected to the lead part 132. The lead portion 132 is connected to the switching circuit 160 through a flexible circuit board or the like, and the lead portion 132 is electrically connected to the switching circuit 160.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure in which the electrode 130 and the photoreceptor belt 120 are both linear or approximately linear structures, the photoreceptor belt 120 is disposed in a first direction, and the electrode 130 is disposed in a second direction, the first direction and the second direction being different. That is, the electrode 130 intersects the photoreceptor belt 120, and the electrode 130 and the photoreceptor belt 120 have an intersection. For example, the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular, i.e., the electrode 130 and the photoreceptor belt 120 are disposed perpendicular to each other.
Illustratively, the electrode 130 may be a rectangular parallelepiped electrode 130 and the photoreceptor belt 120 may be a rectangular parallelepiped photoreceptor belt 120. The length of the electrode 130 is along the second direction and the length of the photoreceptor belt 120 is along the first direction. One end of the electrode 130 in the length direction is lapped on the photoreceptor belt 120. In the disclosed embodiment, the photoreceptor belt 120 has a width of 50nm to 2000nm and a length of 5um to 1000 um. The electrode 130 extends from the photoreceptor belt 120 at least beyond the protective layer 150.
It is understood that, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 5, symmetrical electrodes 130 may be disposed on both sides of the photoreceptor belt 120, and signals of the photoreceptor belt 120 are collected by the symmetrical electrodes 130, which can increase the robustness of the sensor and further increase the detection accuracy.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the photosensitive belt 120 may also have an arc-shaped structure, and accordingly, the appearance structure of the optical sensor 10 may also have an arc shape, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.
The passivation layer 150 is disposed on a side of the electrode layer away from the substrate 110, and the passivation layer 150 is used to protect the electrode layer and the photoreceptor belt 120. The protective layer 150 prevents impurities such as dust, moisture, etc. from entering the inside of the optical sensor 10 and prevents the electrode layer or the photoreceptor belt 120 from being scratched.
As shown in fig. 3, the protection layer 150 may include a planarization layer 151 and a water oxygen barrier film 152, the planarization layer 151 being formed on a side of the electrode 130 away from the substrate 110, the planarization layer 151 being used to form a flat surface. The water and oxygen barrier film 152 is disposed on the side of the flat slide support away from the substrate 110, and the water and oxygen barrier film 152 has a water vapor transmission rate of less than 0.1 g per square meter per day.
The water oxygen barrier film 152 may be formed on the surface of the planarization layer 151 by atomic layer deposition. During deposition, the planarization layer 151 is prevented from being damaged by too high temperature, so the temperature of atomic layer deposition needs to be controlled. For example, the temperature of the ald process is below 150 ℃. The material of the water oxygen barrier film 152 may be Al2O3、SiO2And TiO2For example, the water oxygen barrier film 152 may be Al2O3A single layer diaphragm, or the water oxygen barrier film 152 is Al2O3And SiO2The membrane with double-layer structure or the water-oxygen barrier film 152 is Al2O3、SiO2And TiO2A multilayer structure separator.

Of course, when the protection layer 150 is made of a transparent material, the material of the window region and the region outside the window may be the same, and the embodiment of the disclosure does not limit the material of the window region to be different from the material outside the window region.
Further, the optical sensor 10 provided by the embodiment of the disclosure may further include a package housing, and the photoreceptor belt 120, the electrode layer, the support layer 140, and the protection layer 150 may be packaged in the package housing.

On one hand, the space of the components on the electronic device 100 can be saved, which is beneficial to the miniaturization and the lightness and the thinness of the electronic device 100, on the other hand, the problem of difficult assembly caused by the undersize of the optical sensor 10 is avoided, and the problem that the photosensitive belt 120 is shielded due to the assembly error is avoided.

The optical sensor 10 is used for detecting and calibrating through a standard light source, and during subsequent testing, the sensing data of the optical sensor 10 is compared with a calibration result, namely the wavelength and the light intensity distribution of the test can be sensed. For example, the calibration result may be a sensing signal-color temperature correspondence.
At calibration, the optical sensor 10 is illuminated by light of a known wavelength and intensity, and the photoreceptor belt 120 outputs a sensing signal in response to the illumination signal.
