<p>A light sensing array device including an array of photoelectric light sensing elements (10) individually addressable via sets of address conductors (12, 14) for use, for example, in image sensing or data input using a light pen, which is operable also in a power generating mode in which sensing elements in the array produce electrical power in the manner of a solar cell. To this end, the sets of address conductors are selectively connected via switching means (20, 21, 37, 38) to power output terminals (42, 43). The generated power may be used to supplement a power supply, e.g. using a battery pack, of the device or of electronic apparatus, such as a notebook computer, incorporating the device.</p> |
