Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent output from being saturated in spite of incidence of strong light by using glass whose transmission factor changes according to the strength of the incident light for a case front corresponding to a light-receiving surface. CONSTITUTION:A semiconductor photosensor chip 1 is mounted on a ceramic case 2 and wired by an Al wire 3. For instance, what is called photochromic glass that is the mixture of alkali-alumino-borosilicate glass and silver chloride is used for a glass cap 4 of the case front to become the light-receiving surface. In this way, the photochromic glass is blackened when exposed to strong light so that light incident inside a solid-state photosensor is reduced. Accordingly, when the photosensor is used for a camera or the like, the fixed picture quality can be obtained even when exposed to strong light without attaching a complex function such as an automatic iris to a camera.

Solid-state light receiving devices are generally used as image input devices such as surveillance cameras. However, since surveillance cameras do not have automatic apertures, they have the disadvantage that if strong light is applied to them, the output of the solid-state light receiving device will become saturated and the image will no longer be visible.

The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned problems and provide a solid-state light receiving device whose output does not become saturated even when strong light is incident.

The solid-state light receiving device of the present invention is a solid-state light receiving device in which a semiconductor light receiving element that converts received light into an electrical signal is hermetically housed in a case, and the transmittance changes depending on the intensity of light incident on the front surface of the case, which corresponds to the light receiving surface. It uses glass.

In the present invention, the transmittance of the glass on the light receiving surface changes depending on the amount of incident light. That is, when strong light hits, the transmittance decreases, and the intensity of light entering the solid-state light receiving device becomes constant. This lag prevents the output from becoming saturated even when strong light is received.

If this solid-state light receiving device is used in an image input device, high quality images can always be obtained.

As explained above, the solid state light receiving device of the present invention uses photochromic glass for the glass cap (light receiving surface) into which light enters. Photochromic glass turns black when exposed to strong light, reducing the amount of light that enters the solid-state light receiving device. Therefore, when the device of the present invention is used in a camera or the like, it is possible to obtain a constant image quality even when exposed to strong light without adding a complicated function such as an automatic aperture to the camera.
