Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with a display mounted in a housing. A directional ambient light sensor may measure the intensity and direction of ambient light. The ambient light sensor may be mounted in alignment with a light sensor window formed in an inactive area of the display. The ambient light sensor may be formed from detectors on a semiconductor substrate. Incident light angle restriction structures may define openings for each detector. Each opening may be configured to allow light with a different range of angle of incidence values to be passed to a respective one of the detectors. The ranges of acceptance angle for adjacent detectors may overlap. A sensor may produce a diffuse light reading by processing ambient light data from a diffuse light detector and a directional light detector. The diffuse and directional light detectors may be formed on a common semiconductor substrate.

Abstract: A system in accordance with the present disclosure comprises a sensor and an information processing apparatus that includes processing circuitry. The sensor is installed on a surface so that a detection direction of the sensor is at a non-zero angle from a line normal to the surface. The processing circuitry is configured to communicate with the sensor, calculate a position of a detection area, in which the sensor detects an object in a predetermined space, according to the non-zero angle and a location of the sensor on the surface, and create correspondence information that associates an area of the predetermined space with the detection area.

Abstract: An optical detector may include an aperture, at least two photodetectors, and a measuring arrangement to quantify light detected at the photodetectors after passing through the aperture without the need for a lens. The aperture may be positioned between a light source and the two photodetectors to allow light from a light source to pass through the aperture to the photodetectors. The photodetectors may include PIN junction photodiodes and may be electrically isolated from each other, positioned next to each other in a side-by-side configuration, and then aligned with the aperture so that a proportion of the quantified light detected at the photodetectors changes as an angle of light from the light source incident to the aperture changes. Optical detectors and methods are provided.
