Photodetektor und Farbfilter unter Verwendung eines Photodetektors

摘要

The invention concerns a photodetector to transform electromagnetic radiation into electrical signals having a series of photoelectric elements separately placed alongside each other. The invention also concerns a color sensor having such a photodetector, the photoelectric elements of which are assigned to color filters. To achieve a new symmetry of the area filled in by the photodetector, each photoelectric element is designed in the shape of a rhombus. The color sensor has photoelectric elements and assigned color filter elements, each of them rhombus-shaped. The geometry of the detector elements and of the color filters makes it possible to form hexagonal detector cells, each of them having color filter elements with different color characteristics.
