    Abstract: The present invention relates to a movement detection device for detecting a movement of an object in a space range. The movement detection device includes a light source, a light guiding element, at least two light sensing elements and a processing unit. The light sensing elements have an offset therebetween along a first direction such that the object, when moving in the space range, reflects the light from the light source sequentially to the light sensing elements through the light guiding element. The processing unit identifies the movement of the object along the first direction according to a sequence that the light sensing elements detect the light reflected by the object.

    Abstract: Disclosed are coding and decoding methods using patterns and a system thereof. The object-images are obtained via detecting a pattern comprising objects. The distances between the object-images are obtained and a code is found based on the obtained distances between the object images. The distances between the object-images are defined as distances between centers of the object-images. As there are at least three objects in a pattern, a code is obtained based on a ratio of distances between object-images, which equals to a ratio of distances between objects. As there are at least four objects in a pattern, it is first determined whether a first ratio of object-images equals to a predetermined ratio of object-images. If no, a second ratio of object-images is obtained via a correcting factor and the first ratio of object-image, and finally a code is obtained based on the second ratio of object-images.

    Abstract: A pixel array of an image sensor includes multiple red, green, blue and panchromatic pixels. The red, green and blue pixels are formed on a substrate during a first process. Planarization material is deposited to form the panchromatic pixels on the substrate and to form a planarization layer on the red, green and blue pixels during the same second process subsequent to the first process. The planarization material of the panchromatic pixels and the planarization layer is characterized in high transmittance and high aspect ratio.
