Organic light sensors for use in a mobile communication device

摘要

An organic light sensor for use in a mobile communication device includes at least one organic photodiode/photodetector for detecting the presence of illumination of a predetermined wavelength and for generating a light detection signal thereto. The sensor can have a stacked or planar geometry or a combination of both. The organic photodiode/photodetector is carried on an internal or external transparent or non-transparent substrate. An organic circuit couples the organic sensor to electronic circuitry in the mobile communication device. Examples of construction and applications including image scanning are presented.
