Abstract: A lens unit includes a lens barrel for receiving at least one lens and a motor arranged to displace the lens barrel between various positions. Displacement of the lens barrel is proportional to an electrical signal applied to the motor. A first conductor is fixed to the lens barrel and is arranged to make electrical contact with a second conductor when the lens barrel is at an initial position. A processor is arranged to detect a change in the electrical contact, to determine an electrical signal at the time of the change and to generate an electrical signal corresponding to the desired displacement.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a TFA image sensor in which a multi-layer arrangement comprising a photo diode matrix is arranged on an ASIC switching circuit provided with electronic circuits for operating the TFA image sensor, such as pixel electronics, peripheral electronics and system electronics, for the pixel-wise conversion of electromagnetic radiation into an intensity-dependent photocurrent, the pixels being connected to contacts of the underlying pixel electronics of the ASIC switching circuit. The method enables conventionally produced ASIC switching circuits to be used without impairing the topography of the photoactive sensor surface. The CMOS passivation layer in the photoactive region and then the upper CMOS metallization are removed and replaced by a metallic layer which is structured in the pixel raster, for the formation of back electrodes. The photo diode matrix is then applied and structured, said photo diode matrix being embodied as a pixel matrix, on which a passivating protective layer and/or a color filter layer having a passivating action can be applied.

Abstract: The invention relates to an optical sensor consisting of an arrangement of pixel units, each comprising an optoelectronic converter for converting the incident radiation into a photoelectric current that depends on intensity and wavelength, an integrator median for deriving a measured value corresponding to the photoelectric current detected, and a controllable storage device for storing the measured value, and a readout control device for readout of the stored measured values based on one pixel unit, where the image striking the sensor can be assembled from the measured values based on pixel units. The object of creating an optical sensor permitting operation within a short exposure time is achieved by the fact that each pixel unit has integrator median (7, 8; 11, 12; 15, 16) and at least two parallel storage device (21, 22, 23), such that at least two measured values, each assigned to different spectral ranges of the incident radiation, can be detected and stored during the measurement period and then can be read out together to form the relevant color information for the pixel element.
