    摘要: The present disclosure provides a photosensor structure including a left photosensor located at the left side of a front windshield of a vehicle viewed from the outside of the vehicle, and a right photosensor located symmetrically to the left photosensor. For example, the left photosensor includes two light reception windows located in a width direction of the vehicle to set a lateral incidence angle having a maximum incidence amount in a left-and-right direction of a light source, a dummy portion located on at least one of the two light reception windows between the two light reception windows to set an incidence altitude having a maximum incidence amount in an upward-and-downward direction of the light source, and light reception units located on lower ends of the light reception windows to measure the amount of light received from the light source through the light reception windows.

    摘要: A rain sensor with a multi-sensitivity region includes: at least one light emitting unit configured to output light; a reflective plate provided to correspond to the at least one light emitting unit at a position spaced apart from the at least one light emitting unit by a predetermined distance; a glass part configured to reflect light reflected by the reflective plate and form a plurality of sensing regions; and a light receiving unit configured to receive the light reflected by the glass part. The reflective plate includes at least one first reflective unit forming a first sensing region and at least one second reflective unit forming a second sensing region, the second sensing region has a quantity of light per unit area higher than a quantity of light per unit area of the first sensing region, and the at least one light emitting unit is disposed at a position corresponding to a focal distance of each of the at least one first reflective unit and at least one second reflective unit.
