[0002] With the development of electronic technology, more and more electronic terminals are equipped with some auxiliary devices. For example, a stylus, as a common input device, can realize the function of inputting graphics and text to an electronic terminal.
[0003] In some existing styluses, the arrangement of the light source and the photodetector occupies a large space, which limits the size of the light source and the photodetector. As a result, the emission power of the light source is low, and the detection sensitivity of the photodetector is low. For example, when the stylus takes color, it will result in low color taking signal-to-noise ratio and poor color taking accuracy. SUMMARY
[0004] The present application provides a stylus and an electronic device comprising the stylus. The purpose is to provide a stylus with high light source emission power and high photodetector sensitivity.
[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the embodiments of the present application adopt the following technical solutions:

[0008] Since the photodetector is arranged on the light path of the light emitting device, part of the light emitted by the light emitting device is blocked by the photodetector. However, by arranging the first light reflection structure and the second light reflection structure, the amount of light signal emitted to the target object can be ensured. For example, the first light reflection structure reflects the light from the light emitting device to the second light reflection structure, and the second light reflection structure reflects the light from the first light reflection structure to the target object. That is, the light blocked by the photodetector can be projected onto the target object through the matched first light reflection structure and the second light reflection structure, so as to ensure the amount of light signal emitted to the target object and ensure the coupling efficiency of the light source.
[0009] The light emitting device is used for emitting a light signal to a target object outside the pen shell, and the photoelectric detector is used for sensing the light reflected from the target object. The photoelectric detector of the application is arranged on the light path of the light emitting device, and can be regarded as that the photoelectric detector and the light emitting device are arranged along the longitudinal direction. In some related technologies, the photoelectric detector and the light emitting device are arranged side by side, and can be regarded as that the photoelectric detector and the light emitting device are arranged along the transverse direction. In some scenarios, in the case that the transverse dimension is limited, the longitudinal arrangement scheme of the application can be used to select a light emitting device with a larger light emitting area and a photoelectric detector with a larger light sensitive area, so as to improve the emission power of the light emitting device and the sensitivity of the photoelectric detector.

[0013] In addition, in this example, the second light reflection structure is arranged between the light emitting device and the first light reflection structure, so that more light reflected by the first light reflection structure can be projected onto the second light reflection structure, thereby improving the light coupling efficiency between the first light reflection structure and the second light reflection structure.

[0050] In an implementable manner, the first light reflecting structure of the stylus tail is arranged on the side of the photodetector facing the light emitting device; and the second light reflecting structure is arranged between the light emitting device and the first light reflecting structure.
[0051] In the implementation structure, the first light reflecting structure is arranged on the side of the photodetector facing the light emitting device, so that the light projected onto the photodetector can be reflected by the first light reflecting structure and reflected onto the second light reflecting structure, thereby improving the amount of light signals emitted to the target object.
[0052] In addition, in this example, the second light reflecting structure is arranged between the light emitting device and the first light reflecting structure, so that more light reflected by the first light reflecting structure is projected onto the second light reflecting structure, thereby improving the light coupling efficiency between the first light reflecting structure and the second light reflecting structure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0132] An embodiment of the present application provides a stylus which can be used with an electronic device having a touch display screen. The electronic device can be a desktop computer, a laptop, a tablet, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a handheld computer, a walkie-talkie, a netbook, a POS machine, a personal digital assistant (PDA) and the like mobile terminal, a fixed terminal or a foldable device.
[0133] As Figure 1 , Figure 1 is a structural diagram of a stylus 100 according to an example of the present application. The stylus 100 can provide input to an electronic device having a touch display, and the electronic device can perform an operation in response to the input based on the input of the stylus 100. For example, the stylus 100 can pick up some color, text, or texture and apply it to a graphic pattern drawn by the electronic device.
[0134] As Figure 1 , the stylus 100 can include a body 101, a tip 102, and a tail 103. In some examples, the tip 102 can be integrally formed with the body 101. In other examples, the tip 102 can be detachably connected to the body 101 using a connection structure, such as a threaded connection structure or a clamping structure, such as a cooperating clasp and slot.
[0135] The body 101 can include a receiving space in which some structural members or electronic devices can be disposed. For example, a battery can be disposed in the receiving space to provide power to the stylus.
[0136] The stylus 100 for inputting to an electronic device can include a light emitting device for emitting a light signal from a target object and a photoelectric detector for sensing the light signal reflected from the target object.
[0137] The light emitting device can be a light emitting diode, such as an LED (Light Emitting Diode).
[0138] In some examples, when the photoelectric detector senses the color of the light signal reflected from the target object, the photoelectric detector can include an XYZ sensor or an RGB sensor. In other examples, when the photoelectric detector senses the pattern of the light signal reflected from the target object, the photoelectric detector can include a CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) detector or a CCD (Charge-Coupled Device).
[0139] In order to improve the touch sensitivity, the light emitting device and the photoelectric detector of the above-described example can be disposed in the tip 102. Figure 1The space within the pen tail 103 is relatively small, which limits the size of the light-emitting device and the photodetector. Consequently, the light-emitting area of the light-emitting device and the photosensitive area of the photodetector are both small, resulting in low emission power of the light-emitting device and low detection sensitivity of the photodetector.
[0140] To address the issues of low emission power in light-emitting devices and low detection sensitivity in photodetectors, embodiments of this application provide some feasible structures.
[0141] like Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a simplified structural diagram of a pen tail provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 The diagram illustrates the positional relationship between the light-emitting device 1 and the photodetector 2. The light-emitting device 1 and the photodetector 2 can be arranged along the length of the stylus, as shown below. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The light-emitting device 1 and the photodetector 2 can be arranged along the X direction.
[0142] The light-emitting device 1 and the photodetector 2 can be arranged along the length of the stylus, or along the radial direction of the stylus (e.g., the light-emitting device 1 and the photodetector 2 can be arranged along the radial direction of the stylus). Figure 1 and Figure 2 The stylus can be arranged in the Y direction. A light-emitting device 1 with a large light-emitting area can be selected, and a photodetector 2 with a large photosensitive area can be selected. This can improve the emission power of the light-emitting device and the detection sensitivity of the photodetector. For example, when the stylus is used to pick up colors, the color signal-to-noise ratio can be improved and the color picking accuracy can be improved.
[0143] See Figure 2 The photodetector 2 is located in the optical path of the light-emitting device 1. This can be understood as the light-emitting device 1 being positioned closer to the photodetector 2 than the light-emitting device 1. Figure 1 The pen font shown is 101.
[0144] like Figure 2 Since the photodetector 2 is located in the optical path of the light-emitting device 1, part of the light emitted from the light-emitting device 1 will be blocked by the photodetector 2. In order to allow the light blocked by the photodetector 2 to be emitted from the stylus, the stylus may also include a first light-reflecting structure 31 and a second light-reflecting structure 41. The first light-reflecting structure 31 is located in the optical path of the light-emitting device 1 and is used to reflect the light from the light-emitting device 1; the second light-reflecting structure 41 is located in the optical path of the reflected light from the first light-reflecting structure 31 and is used to reflect the light from the first light-reflecting structure 31.
[0145] exist Figure 2In some examples, the light emitted by the light emitting device 1 can be reflected by the first light reflecting structure 31 and the second light reflecting structure 41, and can be projected to the outside of the stylus and onto the target object.
[0146] With the first light reflecting structure 31 and the second light reflecting structure 41 cooperating, the light path of the light emitted by the light emitting device 1 can be changed, and the light blocked by the photodetector 2 can be projected to the outside of the stylus, so that the light emitting efficiency of the light emitting device 1 is not reduced.
[0147] As shown in Figure 2 , the thick and arrowed dashed line schematically shows the light path of the light reflected by the target object and projected onto the photodetector 2. Since the photodetector 2 is arranged close to the outside of the stylus, the light signal reflected by the target object can be fully received, and the detection sensitivity of the photodetector is improved.
[0148] As shown in Figure 2 , the first light reflecting structure 31 is arranged on the side of the photodetector 2 facing the light emitting device 1. Alternatively, the photodetector 2 has a light receiving surface and a back surface opposite to the light receiving surface, and Figure 2 In some examples, the light receiving surface of the photodetector 2 faces the outside of the stylus, and the first light reflecting structure 31 is arranged on the back surface of the photodetector 2; the light emitting device 1 has a light emitting surface and a back surface opposite to the light emitting surface, and the first light reflecting structure 31 is arranged between the light emitting surface of the light emitting device 1 and the back surface of the photodetector 2.
[0149] In some examples, the second light reflecting structure 41 is arranged between the light emitting device 1 and the first light reflecting structure 31.
[0150] In Figure 2 some examples, in order to make more light emitted by the light emitting device 1 be received by the first light reflecting structure 31 and improve the light coupling efficiency of the light emitting device 1, as shown in Figure 3 , the second light reflecting structure 41 is provided with a light passing hole 401, and the light emitted by the light emitting device 1 can pass through the light passing hole 401 and be projected to the first light reflecting structure 31, so that more light emitted by the light emitting device 1 is projected to the first light reflecting structure 31.
[0151] As shown in Figure 3 , the part of the second light reflecting structure 41 located at the outer periphery of the light passing hole 401 forms a reflecting portion 402, and the reflecting portion 402 is used to reflect the reflected light from the first light reflecting structure 31.
[0152] In order to allow more light from the light-emitting device 1 to be received by the first light-reflecting structure 31, the projection of the light-passing aperture 401 onto the light-emitting surface of the light-emitting device 1 is located outside the light-emitting surface of the light-emitting device 1. This can be understood as the area of the light-passing aperture 401 being larger than the area of the light-emitting surface of the light-emitting device 1.
[0153] To ensure that more light from the light-emitting device 1 is received by the first light-reflecting structure 31 and to improve optical coupling efficiency, the projection of the first light-reflecting structure 31 onto the light-emitting surface of the light-emitting device 1 is located outside the light-emitting surface of the light-emitting device 1. This can be understood as the area of the reflective surface of the first light-reflecting structure 31 being larger than the area of the light-emitting surface of the light-emitting device 1.
[0154] In some alternative structures, aperture 401 can be Figure 3 The circular hole shown. In some other alternative configurations, the light-passing hole 401 can be... Figure 3 The elliptical or square hole shown.
[0155] like Figure 3 The example shows a circular first light-reflecting structure 31. In other examples, the first light-reflecting structure 31 can be elliptical, rectangular, or other shapes.
[0156] In some optional processes, a reflector can be used, with an aperture 401 formed on it, to produce a result similar to... Figure 3 The second light-reflecting structure 41 is shown.
[0157] In other examples, such as Figure 4 As shown, the second light-reflecting structure 41 includes multiple mirrors connected sequentially along the circumference to form a reflective structure with a light-passing aperture 401. For example, in Figure 4 The system includes a first reflector 4A, a second reflector 4B, a third reflector 4C, and a fourth reflector 4D, which are sequentially assembled to form a light-passing aperture 401. Adjacent reflectors 4A, 4B, 4C, and 4D can be connected with adhesive.
[0158] There are various possible implementations for the first light reflection structure 31 and the second light reflection structure 41, some of which are exemplified below.
[0159] Taking the first light-reflecting structure 31 as an example, such as Figure 5 The first light-reflecting structure 31 may include a substrate 31A and a reflective film 32A disposed on the substrate 31A.
[0160] For example, the base 31A can be made of glass or metal, and the surface of the glass or metal can be polished.
[0161] As Figure 6 The reflective film 32A can include a metal film 321 stacked on the base 31A and a dielectric film 322 stacked on the metal film 321. In some alternative materials, the metal film 321 can include at least one of aluminum, silver, and gold. The dielectric film 322 can include at least one of silicon dioxide and silicon nitride.
[0162] Figure 6 In some examples, the metal film 321 is relatively soft, and the dielectric film 322 can be used to protect the metal film 321 and improve the reliability of the light reflection structure.
[0163] In addition, the metal film 321 can be used as a reflective film layer and has a relatively wide wavelength range, which can improve the light coupling efficiency.
[0164] In some implementations, the metal film 321 can be stacked on the base 31A without the dielectric film 322. Alternatively, the dielectric film 322 can be stacked on the base 31A without the metal film 321.
[0165] To improve the light reflection efficiency, as Figure 7 a plurality of dielectric films can be stacked on the base 31A, and the refractive indices of adjacent two dielectric films are different. For example, the first dielectric film 3221, the second dielectric film 3222, and the third dielectric film 3223 can be stacked on the base 31A in sequence, and the refractive indices of the first dielectric film 3221, the second dielectric film 3222, and the third dielectric film 3223 are different. The reflection of the plurality of dielectric films can improve the reflectivity of the light reflection structure and reduce the light absorption loss.
[0166] As Figure 8 , Figure 8 The optical path relationship of the light emitting device 1, the first light reflection structure 31, and the second light reflection structure 41 is shown. In this example, the first light reflection structure 31 has a first reflection surface S1 for reflecting light from the light emitting device 1 to the second light reflection structure 41. The first reflection surface S1 is a convex surface, and the divergence of the convex surface can cause more light to be reflected to the second light reflection structure 41.
[0167] The first reflection surface S1 is a convex surface, which can be a hyperboloid or a spherical surface.
[0168] See Figure 8The second light reflection structure 41 includes a second reflection surface S2, the second reflection surface S2 is used to reflect light from the first light reflection structure 31; the second reflection surface S2 is a concave surface, and the concave surface is used to make the reflected light parallel to the stylus.
[0169] The second reflection surface S2 is a concave surface, and the concave surface can be a parabolic surface, a hyperbolic surface, an elliptical surface, or a spherical surface.
[0170] In order to improve the light coupling efficiency, as shown in Figure 8 The light emitting device 1 is located at the optical axis Q1 of the first light reflection structure 31, and the light emitting region of the light emitting device 1 is located in the light hole 401, so that more light of the light emitting device 1 can be projected onto the first light reflection structure 31.
[0171] The light emitting device 1 is located at the optical axis Q1 of the first light reflection structure 31, which can be understood as: the optical axis Q1 of the first light reflection structure 31 passes through the center of the light emitting surface of the light emitting device 1, and the center of the light emitting surface of the light emitting device 1 is substantially located at the optical axis Q1 of the first light reflection structure 31.
[0172] In order to improve the light coupling efficiency, the positional relationship between the first light reflection structure 31 and the second light reflection structure 41 can be:
[0173] In some examples, the optical axis Q1 of the first light reflection structure 31 and the optical axis Q2 of the second light reflection structure 41 can coincide, and the focal point of the first light reflection structure 31 and the focal point of the second light reflection structure 41 can not coincide, for example, the distance between the focal point F1 of the first light reflection structure 31 and the focal point F2 of the second light reflection structure 41 is: less than or equal to 30% of the focal length of the first light reflection structure 31, for example, the distance between the focal point F1 of the first light reflection structure 31 and the focal point F2 of the second light reflection structure 41 is equal to 20% of the focal length of the first light reflection structure 31.
[0174] In some examples, the optical axis Q1 of the first light reflection structure 31 and the optical axis Q2 of the second light reflection structure 41 can coincide, and the focal point of the first light reflection structure 31 and the focal point of the second light reflection structure 41 can not coincide, for example, the distance between the focal point F1 of the first light reflection structure 31 and the focal point F2 of the second light reflection structure 41 is: less than or equal to 30% of the focal length of the first light reflection structure 31, for example, the distance between the focal point F1 of the first light reflection structure 31 and the focal point F2 of the second light reflection structure 41 is equal to 20% of the focal length of the first light reflection structure 31. Figure 9 In some examples, the optical axis Q1 of the first light reflection structure 31 and the optical axis Q2 of the second light reflection structure 41 can coincide, and the focal point F1 of the first light reflection structure 31 and the focal point F2 of the second light reflection structure 41 can coincide. In this way, the light coupling efficiency can be further optimized, for example, the light transmission efficiency of the light emitting device 1 can be greater than or equal to 50%.
[0175] Figure 10 In some styluses, as shown in
[0176] In some styluses, as shown in Figure 10 The second light reflection structure 41 can be symmetrically arranged about the optical axis Q3 of the light emitting device 1. For example, in Figure 10 , the second light reflection structure 41 comprises a light passing hole 401 and a reflection part 402 surrounding the periphery of the light passing hole 401, the center of the light passing hole 401 can be on the optical axis of the light emitting device 1, and the reflection part 402 can be symmetrically arranged about the optical axis of the light emitting device 1.
[0177] In some styluses, the second light reflection structure 41 comprises a plurality of mirrors as shown in Figure 4 , the optical axes of the plurality of mirrors can coincide; or the optical axes of the plurality of mirrors can coincide, and the focal points of the plurality of mirrors can coincide.
[0178] In order to make the light emitted by the light emitting device 1 uniformly exit the stylus, the stylus can further comprise a diffuser 5, the diffuser 5 can disperse the light from the second light reflection structure 41 and make the light uniformly distributed and exit the stylus. In some structures, the diffuser 5 is arranged on the side of the reflection surface of the second light reflection structure 41. Figure 11 Figure 11
[0179] In some optional materials, the diffuser 5 can be selected from glass, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polycarbonate (PC) or poly methylmethacrylate (PMMA). For example, the diffuser 5 can be frosted glass, opal glass or a PET plate doped with scattering particles.
[0180] The light emitted by the light emitting device 1 in the above examples can be composite light. In this way, the stylus can be used for color picking, pattern picking with color, etc.
[0181] Figure 12 is another simple structure diagram of the pen tail given by the embodiments of the present application, which Figure 12 shows the positional relationship between the light emitting device 1 and the photodetector 2. The light emitting device 1 and the photodetector 2 can be arranged along the length direction of the stylus, for example, the light emitting device 1 and the photodetector 2 can be arranged along the X direction. Figure 12
[0182] Figure 12 The light emitting device 1 and the photodetector 2 in the example are arranged along the length direction of the stylus, which can improve the emission power of the light emitting device, improve the detection sensitivity of the photodetector, and improve the use performance of the stylus.
[0183] In Figure 12 In the example, the photoelectric detector 2 is located on the light path of the light emitting device 1, which can be understood as that the light emitting device 1 is arranged closer to the pen body 101 than the photoelectric detector 2.
[0184] In Figure 12 In the example, the pen tail 103 includes a light-transmitting region 103A, the light-transmitting region 103A is an arc-shaped structure, the arc-shaped structure protrudes towards the outside of the pen tail, and the light emitted from the light-transmitting region 103A is parallel light.
[0185] In some styluses, a cap that is sleeved on the pen tail can not be arranged, and the arc-shaped structure shown in the figure can be directly used as the cap, so that the structure of the stylus can be simplified, and the appearance aesthetics can be optimized. Figure 13
[0186] In order to make the light emitted from the light-transmitting region 103A be parallel light, the second light reflecting structure 41 can adopt the structure shown in the figures, Figure 14 and Figure 14 Figure 14 is a sectional view along A-A of 13, wherein the second light reflecting structure 41 has a second reflecting surface S2, the second reflecting surface S2 can be a concave surface as shown in the figure. Figure 12
[0187] By matching the concave second reflecting surface S2 and the arc-shaped light-transmitting region 103A shown in the figure, the light emitted from the light-transmitting region 103A can be parallel light. Figure 14
[0188] As Figure 15 shown in the figure, the curvature of the concave surface can be matched with the curvature of the arc-shaped light-transmitting region 103A, so that the light emitted from the light-transmitting region 103A can be parallel light.
[0189] Figure 16 、 Figure 17 and Figure 16 are structural schematic diagrams of a pen tail given by the embodiments of the present application, Figure 15 is an exploded view of Figure 17 , Figure 15 is a sectional view of Figure 16 . The pen tail 103 includes a shell 1031, the shell 1031 has a light-transmitting region 103A, Figure 17 The light-transmitting region 103A is separated from the shell 1031, in some structures, the light-transmitting region 103A and the shell 1031 are an integral structure.
[0190] The shell 1031 has a containing space, some structures such as the light emitting device 1, the photoelectric detector 2, the first light reflecting structure 31 and the second light reflecting structure 41 are arranged in the containing space.
[0191] As Figure 17 The support 6 can be arranged in the accommodating space, such as Figure 18 and Figure 19 The support 6 has a first support platform 61, and the light emitting device 1 can be arranged on the first support platform 61. The support 6 also has a second support platform 62, and the second light reflecting structure 41 is arranged on the second support platform 62.
[0192] The diffusion plate 5 serves as a support structure of the first light reflecting structure 31 and the photodetector 2, and the first light reflecting structure 31 and the photodetector 2 are oppositely arranged on two sides of the diffusion plate 5.
[0193] Figure 19 is another structure diagram of the pen tail given by the embodiment of the present application, which Figure 19 demonstrates the positional relationship between the light emitting device and the photodetector. The light emitting device 1 and the photodetector 2 can be arranged along the length direction of the stylus, such as Figure 19 , the light emitting device 1 and the photodetector 2 can be arranged along the X direction.
[0194] The light emitting device 1 and the photodetector 2 can be arranged along the length direction of the stylus. Compared with the light emitting device 1 and the photodetector 2 arranged along the radial direction (such as Figure 19 Y direction) of the stylus, the light emitting device 1 with a larger light emitting area can be selected, and the photodetector 2 with a larger light receiving area can be selected. In this way, the emission power of the light emitting device can be improved, and the detection sensitivity of the photodetector can be improved. For example, when the stylus is used for color picking, the color picking signal-to-noise ratio and the color picking accuracy can be improved.
[0195] In Figure 1 the example, the photodetector 2 has a light receiving surface for receiving light reflected by a target object. The light emitting device 1 is located on the side of the light receiving surface of the photodetector 2. It can be understood that the setting position of the photodetector 2 is closer to Figure 19 the pen body 101 than the setting position of the light emitting device 1. In this way, more light emitted by the light emitting device 1 can irradiate the target object.
[0196] As Figure 19 the light emitting device 1 is located on the side of the light receiving surface of the photodetector 2, the light emitting device 1 is located in the light path of the photodetector 2. In order to make more light reflected by the target object be received by the photodetector 2, such as Figure 19 , a third light reflecting structure 32 and a fourth light reflecting structure 42 can also be included. The third light reflecting structure 32 is located in the light path of the light reflected by the target object, and the third light reflecting structure 32 is used to reflect the light from the target object. The fourth light reflecting structure 42 is located in the light path of the reflected light of the third light reflecting structure 32, and the fourth light reflecting structure 42 is used to reflect the light from the third light reflecting structure 32 to the photodetector 2.
[0197] The light emitting device 1 is located on the light path of the photodetector 2, which can be understood as: the light reflected from the target object to the photodetector 2 has a light path, and the light emitting device 1 is located on the light path.
[0198] In Figure 19 , the thicker dashed line with arrows schematically shows the propagation path of the light reflected from the target object to the photodetector. The light reflected from the target object can be projected onto the third light reflecting structure 32, the third light reflecting structure 32 reflects the light from the target object and reflects onto the fourth light reflecting structure 42, the fourth light reflecting structure 42 reflects the light from the third light reflecting structure 32, and can be reflected onto the photodetector 2 and received by the light receiving surface of the photodetector 2.
[0199] Since the light emitting device 1 is located on the light receiving surface side of the photodetector 2, in order to make the light reflected from the target object more received by the photodetector 2, as Figure 19 , the orthographic projection of the photodetector 2 on the third light reflecting structure 32 is located within the edge of the third light reflecting structure 32, which can be understood as: the area of the third light reflecting structure 32 is greater than the area of the photodetector 2.
[0200] See Figure 19 , the third light reflecting structure 32 is arranged on the light receiving surface side of the photodetector 2. The fourth light reflecting structure 42 is arranged between the light emitting device 1 and the third light reflecting structure 32.
[0201] In order to compress the space occupied by the fourth light reflecting structure 42, as Figure 19 , the fourth light reflecting structure 42 is arranged on the side away from the light emitting surface of the light emitting device 1, that is, the fourth light reflecting structure 42 is located on the back of the light emitting device 1.
[0202] As Figure 19 shown, the third light reflecting structure 32 is provided with a light passing hole, and the light reflected by the fourth light reflecting structure 42 can pass through the light passing hole and project onto the photodetector 2.
[0203] As Figure 19 shown, the part of the third light reflecting structure 32 located on the outer periphery of the light passing hole 321 forms a reflecting part, and the reflecting part is used to reflect the light from the target object.
[0204] Figures 5 to 7 The third light reflecting structure 32 and the fourth light reflecting structure 42 in the example can adopt the structure shown in the above Figure 20 . For example, the third light reflecting structure 32 can include a substrate and a reflecting film arranged on the substrate, the reflecting film can include at least one of a metal film or a dielectric film, or the reflecting film can include a plurality of stacked dielectric films, and the refractive indexes of adjacent two layers of dielectric films are different.
[0205] As Figure 20 , Figure 20 The optical path relationship of the photodetector 2, the third light reflection structure 32 and the fourth light reflection structure 42 is shown. In this example, the third light reflection structure 32 has a third reflection surface Q3 for reflecting light from the target object to the fourth light reflection structure 42; the third reflection surface Q3 is a concave surface, which makes more light reflected to the fourth light reflection structure 42.
[0206] The third reflection surface Q3 is a concave surface, which can be a parabolic surface, a hyperbolic surface, an elliptical surface or a spherical surface.
[0207] See Figure 20 , the fourth light reflection structure 42 includes a fourth reflection surface Q4 for reflecting light from the third light reflection structure 32 to the photodetector 2; the fourth reflection surface Q4 is a convex surface.
[0208] The fourth reflection surface Q4 is a convex surface, which can be a hyperbolic surface or a spherical surface.
[0209] In order to improve the light coupling efficiency, the photodetector 2 is located at the optical axis of the fourth light reflection structure 42, so that more light reflected by the fourth light reflection structure 42 can be projected onto the photodetector 2. It can also be understood that the optical axis of the fourth light reflection structure 42 passes through the center of the light-sensitive surface of the photodetector 2.
[0210] The reflected light area of the fourth light reflection structure 42 is in the light hole, which can make the photodetector 2 receive more light.
[0211] In order to improve the light coupling efficiency, in Figure 20 In some examples, the optical axis of the third light reflection structure 32 and the optical axis of the fourth light reflection structure 42 can coincide, and the focal point of the third light reflection structure 32 and the focal point of the fourth light reflection structure 42 can not coincide. In other examples, the optical axis of the third light reflection structure 32 and the optical axis of the fourth light reflection structure 42 can coincide, and the focal point of the third light reflection structure 32 and the focal point of the fourth light reflection structure 42 can coincide.
[0212] In some styluses, such as Figure 20 , the fourth light reflection structure 42 can be symmetrically arranged about the optical axis of the photodetector 2. In turn, the third light reflection structure 31 can receive more light from the light emitting device 1, improving the light coupling efficiency of the light emitting device 1.
[0213] The light emitted by the light emitting device 1 of the above Figure 21 example can be composite light. In this way, the stylus can be used for color picking, pattern picking with color, etc.
[0214] Figure 21 is another structure diagram of the tail of the stylus given by an embodiment of the present application, and Figure 21 shows the positional relationship between the light emitting device 1 and the photodetector 2. The light emitting device 1 and the photodetector 2 can be arranged along the length direction of the stylus, such as Figure 21 The light emitting device 1 and the photodetector 2 can be arranged along the X direction.
[0215] Figure 21 The light emitting device 1 and the photodetector 2 of the example are arranged along the length direction of the stylus, which can improve the emission power of the light emitting device, improve the detection sensitivity of the photodetector, and improve the use performance of the stylus.
[0216] Figure 19 The difference between the example and the above Figure 21 includes that the tail 103 includes a light transmission region 103A, the light transmission region 103A is an arc-shaped structure, so that more light reflected by the target object can be received by the photodetector 2, such as Figure 2 The reflecting surface of the third light reflection structure 32 is a concave surface.
[0217] In the above Figure 12 , Figure 19 and Figure 21 , and Figure 22 , the color of the target object can be obtained.
[0218] In some scenarios, when the external environment light is relatively strong, the direct method can be used to obtain the color. For example, the light emitting device 1 does not work, the light signal reflected by the target object is measured by the photodetector 2, which can be referred to as a target spectrum, and the stylus converts the target spectrum into a color value.
[0219] In some other scenarios, when the external environment light is relatively weak, the two-step method can be used to obtain the color. For example, the light emitting device 1 does not work, the external environment spectrum is measured by the photodetector 2; the light emitting device 1 works, the spectrum of the light emitted by the light emitting device 1 reflected by the target object is measured by the photodetector 2, and then the inherent reflection spectrum of the target object is determined according to the spectrum of the light emitted by the light emitting device 1 reflected by the target object measured by the photodetector 2 and the spectrum of the light emitted by the light emitting device 1; then the spectrum of the light reflected by the target object is determined according to the inherent reflection spectrum of the target object and the external environment spectrum measured by the photodetector 2; and then the spectrum of the light reflected by the target object is converted into a color value.
[0220] Figure 22 is another structure diagram of the tail of the stylus given by an embodiment of the present application, and Figure 22The positional relationship between the light emitting device and the photoelectric detector is shown. The light emitting device 1 and the photoelectric detector 2 can be arranged along the length direction of the stylus, as shown in Figure 22 The light emitting device 1 and the photoelectric detector 2 can be arranged along the X direction.
[0221] Figure 22 In the example, the light emitting device 1 and the photoelectric detector 2 are arranged along the length direction of the stylus, which can improve the emission power of the light emitting device, improve the detection sensitivity of the photoelectric detector, and improve the use performance of the stylus.
[0222] In Figure 22 the example, the photoelectric detector 2 is located on the light path of the light emitting device 1, which can be understood as: the setting position of the light emitting device 1 is closer to the pen body 101 than the setting position of the photoelectric detector 2.
[0223] In some use scenarios, such as using the stylus to take texture or not along the pattern, the example shown in Figure 22 may be used.
[0224] In Figure 22 the example, the first light reflection structure 31 and the second light reflection structure 41 are sequentially arranged on the light path of the light emitting device 1, the first light reflection structure 31 is used to reflect the first light beam P1 with the first wavelength, and transmit the second light beam P2 with the second wavelength, and project the second light beam P2 with the second wavelength onto the second light reflection structure 41.
[0225] The second light reflection structure 41 reflects the second light beam P2 with the second wavelength onto the first light reflection structure 31, and reflects it to the outside of the stylus through the first light reflection structure 31.
[0226] It can be understood that the first light reflection structure 31 in the example has a wavelength selection function, which can reflect the first light beam with the first wavelength and transmit the second light beam with the second wavelength. Figure 22
[0227] In some examples, as shown in , the first light reflection structure 31 has opposite first surface S1 and second surface S2, and the first surface S1 can have a first reflection film layer, which is used to fully reflect the first light beam with the first wavelength and transmit the second light beam with the second wavelength.
[0228] The second light reflection structure 41 has a third surface S3, and the third surface S3 has a third reflection film layer, which is used to fully reflect the second light beam with the second wavelength.
[0229] On the second surface S2 of the first light reflection structure 31, in addition to being able to transmit the second light beam having the second wavelength, part of the area is also used to reflect the second light beam having the second wavelength reflected by the second light reflection structure 41.
[0230] In the different examples shown above, the assembly comprising the light emitting device, the photodetector, the first light reflection structure and the second light reflection structure can also be used as a detection device, which can be arranged in other electronic devices, such as wearable devices, such as watches, bracelets, etc. The detection device arranged in the wearable device can be used to detect at least one of heart rate, blood pressure, blood oxygen, etc.

[0232] The above describes only specific embodiments of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, and any person skilled in the art can easily think of changes or replacements within the technical scope disclosed in the present application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
