Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to an electronic device, and more particularly to an electronic device with an ambient light sensor.


2. Description of the Prior Art

Currently, electronic devices with borderless full-screen appearance (such as smart phones, etc.) have become the main trend. In order to achieve the requirement of borderless full-screen, all components (such as an ambient light sensor, etc.) must be integrated and disposed below the screen. Under this condition, the sensors receive the ambient light and the light emitted by the screen simultaneously, and the ambient light detected by the sensors is interfered by the change of the image or the brightness on the screen, thereby making the electronic device unable to accurately adjust the screen brightness.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

One of the technical problems to be solved in the present invention is that the ambient light detected by the sensor is interfered by the change of the image or the brightness on the screen of the electronic device.


To solve the technical problem described above, the present invention provides an electronic device including a display, a first optical sensor, a second optical sensor and a first circular polarizer. The display includes a first side and a second side opposite to the first side. The first optical sensor and the second optical sensor are disposed on the first side of the display. The first circular polarizer is disposed on the first side of the display. The first circular polarizer includes a first quarter waveplate, a first linear polarizer, a second quarter waveplate and a second linear polarizer. The first quarter waveplate is disposed between the display and the first optical sensor, and the first linear polarizer is disposed between the first quarter waveplate and the first optical sensor. The second quarter waveplate is disposed between the display and the second optical sensor, and the second linear polarizer is disposed between the second quarter waveplate and the second optical sensor.


In the present invention, the intensity of the ambient light can be accurately obtained and the interference of the light emitted by the display can be eliminated through the first circular polarizer and the dual channel sensor (such as the first optical sensor and the second optical sensor). For example, the ambient light sensors (such as the first optical sensor and the second optical sensor) in the electronic device can detect the change of the ambient light without being affected by the change of the image or the brightness of the display, and thus the electronic device can adjust the screen brightness more precisely.


These and other objectives of the present invention will no doubt become obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art after reading the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment that is illustrated in the various figures and drawings.

The quarter waveplate 1141 is disposed on the linear polarizer 1143, and the quarter waveplate 1161 is disposed on the linear polarizer 1163. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1, the positional relationship between the quarter waveplate 1061 and the linear polarizer 1063 in the direction Z is reversed from the positional relationship between the quarter waveplate 1141 and the linear polarizer 1143 (or the quarter waveplate 1161 and the linear polarizer 1163).

The linear polarizer 1063, the linear polarizer 1143 or the linear polarizer 1163 may be constructed by polymer materials or metal wire grids, but not limited herein. The quarter waveplate 1141 has an optical axis, the linear polarizer 1143 has a polarization direction, and an included angle between the optical axis of the quarter waveplate 1141 and the polarization direction of the linear polarizer 1143 is −45 degrees.

In addition, the included angle between the polarization direction of the linear polarizer 1143 and the polarization direction of the linear polarizer 1163 can be 90 degrees, but not limited herein.


The optical sensor 1081 may be disposed corresponding to the quarter waveplate 1141 and the linear polarizer 1143 in the direction Z, and the optical sensor 1083 may be disposed corresponding to the quarter waveplate 1161 and the linear polarizer 1163 in the direction Z. As shown in FIG. 1, the quarter waveplate 1141 is disposed between the display 102 and the optical sensor 1081, and the linear polarizer 1143 is disposed between the quarter waveplate 1141 and the optical sensor 1081. In addition, the quarter waveplate 1161 is disposed between the display 102 and the optical sensor 1083, and the linear polarizer 1163 is disposed between the quarter waveplate 1161 and the optical sensor 1083.


As shown in FIG. 1, the quarter waveplate 1141 may be parallel to the optical sensor 1081, and an area of the quarter waveplate 1141 may be the same as an area of the optical sensor 1081, but not limited herein. In addition, the quarter waveplate 1161 may be parallel to the optical sensor 1083, and an area of the quarter waveplate 1161 may be the same as an area of the optical sensor 1083, but not limited herein.


As shown in FIG. 1, the linear polarizer 1143 may be parallel to the optical sensor 1081, and an area of the linear polarizer 1143 may be the same as the area of the optical sensor 1081, but not limited herein. In addition, the linear polarizer 1163 may be parallel to the optical sensor 1083, and an area of the linear polarizer 1163 may be the same as the area of the optical sensor 1083, but not limited herein.


The optical sensor (such as the optical sensor 1081 or the optical sensor 1083) may include photoelectric conversion components such as a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) sensor, a photodiode (PD), etc. One optical sensor 1081 and one optical sensor 1083 may form a dual channel sensor, and the electronic device 10 may include one or more dual channel sensors. For example, the optical sensor 1081 is served as one of the channels, and the optical sensor 1083 is served as the other one of the channels. In FIG. 1, the optical sensor 1081 and the optical sensor 1083 are disposed adjacent to each other, but the present invention is not limited herein. In other embodiments, the optical sensor 1081 and the optical sensor 1083 may be disposed separately.


According to the structure of the electronic device 10 described above, the effects provided by the present invention are described below. As shown in FIG. 1, among the light emitted by the display 102, the light L1 and the light L3 may be emitted from the display 102 toward the cover layer 112, and the light L2 and the light L4 may be emitted from the display 102 toward the optical sensor 1081 or the optical sensor 1083. In addition, the ambient light L5 and the ambient light L6 may enter the electronic device 10 from the cover layer 112, and advance toward the optical sensor 1081 or the optical sensor 1083. In FIG. 1, the directions of the light L1 and the light L3 are parallel to each other and identical to the direction Z, and the directions of the light L2, the light L4, the ambient light L5 and the ambient light L6 are parallel to each other and opposite to the direction Z, but the directions of the light are not limited herein.


As shown in FIG. 1, the ambient light L5 and the ambient light L6 are unpolarized before entering the electronic device 10. For example, the circular polarizer 106 of this embodiment can be a right-handed circular polarizer, but not limited herein. As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, when the ambient light L5 and the ambient light L6 enter the electronic device 10, the ambient light L5 and the ambient light L6 pass through the quarter waveplate 1061 and the linear polarizer 1063 of the circular polarizer 106 in sequence, and the ambient light L5 and the ambient light L6 are right-handed polarized. The ambient light L5 and the ambient light L6 may be reflected in the electronic device 10 after the ambient light L5 and the ambient light L6 enter the electronic device 10. The circular polarizer 106 can prevent the reflected light from passing through the cover layer 112 to the outside of the electronic device 10, so as to maintain the display quality of the image of the electronic device 10.


In this embodiment, since the included angle between the linear polarizer 1143 and the quarter waveplate 1141 is −45 degrees, the linear polarizer 1143 and the quarter waveplate 1141 also form a right-handed circular polarizer. As shown in FIG. 2, the ambient light L5 may pass through the quarter waveplate 1141 and the linear polarizer 1143 of the circular polarizer 104 in sequence. First, a portion of the polarization of the ambient light L5 perpendicular to the optical axis of the quarter waveplate 1141 is retarded by the influence of the crystalline structure of the quarter waveplate 1141 (e.g., the moving distance can be retarded by a length of a quarter of the wavelength) after the ambient light L5 passes through the quarter waveplate 1141, and thus the right-handed polarized ambient light L5 can become linearly polarized. Then, since the polarization direction of the ambient light L5 passing through the quarter waveplate 1141 may be parallel to the polarization direction of the linear polarizer 1143, the ambient light L5 may fully pass through the linear polarizer 1143. Therefore, the ambient light L5 is able to pass through the quarter waveplate 1141 and the linear polarizer 1143, and the ambient light L5 can be detected by the optical sensor 1081.


As shown in FIG. 3, in this embodiment, since the included angle between the linear polarizer 1163 and the quarter waveplate 1161 is 45 degrees, the linear polarizer 1163 and the quarter waveplate 1161 may form a left-handed circular polarizer. First, a portion of the polarization of the ambient light L6 perpendicular to the optical axis of the quarter waveplate 1161 is retarded by the influence of the crystalline structure of the quarter waveplate 1161 (e.g., the moving distance can be retarded by a length of a quarter of the wavelength) after the ambient light L6 passes through the quarter waveplate 1161, and thus the right-handed polarized ambient light L6 can become linearly polarized. However, since the polarization direction of the ambient light L6 passing through the quarter waveplate 1161 is perpendicular to the polarization direction of the linear polarizer 1163, the ambient light L6 is not able to pass through the linear polarizer 1163. Therefore, the optical sensor 1083 is not able to detect the ambient light L6.


As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the light L2 and the light L4 emitted from the display 102 are unpolarized. Therefore, the light L2 and the light L4 are still unpolarized after passing through the quarter waveplate 1141 and the quarter waveplate 1161. Then, the polarization direction of a portion of the light L2 is parallel to the polarization direction of the linear polarizer 1143, and this portion of the light L2 can pass through the linear polarizer 1143. However, the polarization direction of another portion of the light L2 is perpendicular to the polarization direction of the linear polarizer 1143, and this portion of the light L2 is not able to pass through the linear polarizer 1143.


Similarly, the polarization direction of a portion of the light L4 is parallel to the polarization direction of the linear polarizer 1163, and this portion of the light L4 can pass through the linear polarizer 1163. However, the polarization direction of another portion of the light L4 is perpendicular to the polarization direction of the linear polarizer 1163, and this portion of the light L4 is not able to pass through the linear polarizer 1163.


In addition, the light L2 or the light L4 may have a first intensity before passing through the quarter waveplate 1141 or the quarter waveplate 1161. The light L2 may have a second intensity after passing through the quarter waveplate 1141 and the linear polarizer 1143, or the light L4 may have a second intensity after passing through the quarter waveplate 1161 and the linear polarizer 1163, and the second intensity can be half of the first intensity.


Thus, the optical sensor 1081 can detect the light L2 from the display 102 with the second intensity and the ambient light L5 with the full intensity, and the optical sensor 1083 can detect the light L4 from the display 102 with the second intensity but is not able to detect the ambient light L6. Then, the full intensity of the ambient light L5 can be obtained by subtracting the values obtained by the optical sensor 1081 and the optical sensor 1083 through the calculation element. The calculation element may include a processor or an integrated circuit, but not limited herein.


Therefore, the full intensity of the ambient light L5 can be obtained and the interference of the light L2 and the light L4 emitted by the display 102 can be eliminated through the circular polarizer 104 and the dual channel sensor in this embodiment. For example, the ambient light sensor 1081 and the ambient light sensor 1083 in the electronic device 10 can detect the change of the ambient light without being affected by the change of the image or the brightness of the display 102, so that the electronic device 10 can adjust the screen brightness more precisely.


In addition, a portion of the light emitted by the display 102 may be reflected in the electronic device 10 and detected by the optical sensor 1081 or the optical sensor 1083. Therefore, in some embodiments, the values of the intensity of the light detected by the optical sensor 1081 or the optical sensor 1083 may also be properly adjusted to optimize the intensity of the ambient light eventually obtained.


Other embodiments of the present invention will be detailed in the following. In order to simplify the illustration and clearly show the differences between various embodiments, the same components in the following would be labeled with the same symbol, the differences between various embodiments would be described in detail, and repeated features will not be described redundantly.


Please refer to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5. FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a first quarter waveplate, a first linear polarizer and a first optical sensor of a second embodiment according to the present invention. FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of a second quarter waveplate, a second linear polarizer and a second optical sensor of the second embodiment according to the present invention. The difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that the circular polarizer 106 of this embodiment may be a left-handed circular polarizer, but not limited herein. As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, when the ambient light L5 and the ambient light L6 enter the electronic device 10, the ambient light L5 and the ambient light L6 pass through the quarter waveplate 1061 and the linear polarizer 1063 of the circular polarizer 106 in sequence, and the ambient light L5 and the ambient light L6 can be left-handed polarized.


Since the included angle between the linear polarizer 1143 and the quarter waveplate 1141 is −45 degrees, the linear polarizer 1143 and the quarter waveplate 1141 may form a right-handed circular polarizer. As shown in FIG. 4, the ambient light L5 may pass through the quarter waveplate 1141 and the linear polarizer 1143 of the circular polarizer 104 in sequence. First, a portion of the polarization of the ambient light L5 perpendicular to the optical axis of the quarter waveplate 1141 is retarded by the influence of the crystalline structure of the quarter waveplate 1141 (e.g., the moving distance can be retarded by a length of a quarter of the wavelength) after the ambient light L5 passes through the quarter waveplate 1141, and thus the left-handed polarized ambient light L5 can become linearly polarized. However, since the polarization direction of the ambient light L5 passing through the quarter waveplate 1141 is perpendicular to the polarization direction of the linear polarizer 1143, the ambient light L5 is not able to pass through the linear polarizer 1143. Therefore, the optical sensor 1081 is not able to detect the ambient light L5.


As shown in FIG. 5, since the included angle between the linear polarizer 1163 and the quarter waveplate 1161 is 45 degrees, the linear polarizer 1163 and the quarter waveplate 1161 also form a left-handed circular polarizer. First, a portion of the polarization of the ambient light L6 perpendicular to the optical axis of the quarter waveplate 1161 is retarded by the influence of the crystalline structure of the quarter waveplate 1161 (e.g., the moving distance can be retarded by a length of a quarter of the wavelength) after the ambient light L6 passes through the quarter waveplate 1161, and thus the left-handed polarized ambient light L6 can become linearly polarized. Then, since the polarization direction of the ambient light L6 passing through the quarter waveplate 1161 may be parallel to the polarization direction of the linear polarizer 1163, the ambient light L6 may fully pass through the linear polarizer 1163. Therefore, the ambient light L6 can pass through the quarter waveplate 1161 and the linear polarizer 1163, and the ambient light L6 can be detected by the optical sensor 1083.


The light L2 or the light L4 may be similar to those in the first embodiment. The light L2 or the light L4 may have a first intensity before passing through the quarter waveplate 1141 or the quarter waveplate 1161. The light L2 may have a second intensity after passing through the quarter waveplate 1141 and the linear polarizer 1143, or the light L4 may have a second intensity after passing through the quarter waveplate 1161 and the linear polarizer 1163, and the second intensity is half of the first intensity.


Thus, the optical sensor 1081 can detect the light L2 of the display 102 with the second intensity but is not able to detect the ambient light L5, and the optical sensor 1083 can detect the light L4 of the display 102 with the second intensity and the ambient light L6 with the full intensity. Then, the full intensity of the ambient light L6 can be obtained by subtracting the values obtained by the optical sensor 1081 and the optical sensor 1083 through the calculation element.


Therefore, the full intensity of the ambient light L6 can be obtained and the interference of the light L2 and the light L4 emitted by the display 102 can be eliminated through the circular polarizer 104 and the dual channel sensor in this embodiment. For example, the ambient light sensor 1081 and the ambient light sensor 1083 in the electronic device 10 can detect the change of the ambient light without being affected by the change of the image or the brightness of the display 102, so that the electronic device 10 can adjust the screen brightness more precisely.


According to the embodiments described above, in the present invention, the right-handed circular polarizer (the quarter waveplate 1141 and the linear polarizer 1143) and the left-handed circular polarizer (the quarter waveplate 1161 and the linear polarizer 1163) are respectively disposed on the dual channel sensor (such as the optical sensor 1081 and the optical sensor 1083), thereby achieving the effect of fully detecting ambient light without being affected by the polarization direction of the circular polarizer 106 on the display. In addition, the circular polarizer 104 and the dual channel sensor of the present invention can achieve the filtering function at any angle pertaining to the circularly polarized light passing through the circular polarizer 106 and the display 102. Therefore, the circular polarizer 104 and the dual channel sensor of the present invention are not limited by specific placing angles, so that the circular polarizer 104 and the dual channel sensor have excellent product compatibility and can be compatible in displays having different structures.


Those skilled in the art will readily observe that numerous modifications and alterations of the device and method may be made while retaining the teachings of the invention. Accordingly, the above disclosure should be construed as limited only by the metes and bounds of the appended claims.
