[0025] Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram of another composite photoelectric sensor disclosed in an embodiment of this application. Detailed Implementation

[0026] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0027] As an optional implementation of the disclosure in this application, an embodiment of this application discloses a composite photoelectric sensor, such as... Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a composite photoelectric sensor disclosed in an embodiment of this application. The composite photoelectric sensor includes a substrate 10, a first device 21, and a second device 22.

[0028] The first device 21 is soldered onto the substrate 10, and the second device 22 is soldered onto the substrate 10. The second device 22 is disposed at a distance from the first device 21. The first device 21 includes one of an ambient light sensor, an LED indicator, and an infrared sensor, and the second device 22 includes the other of an ambient light sensor, an LED indicator, and an infrared sensor.

[0029] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first device 21 includes an ambient light sensor, and the second device 22 includes an LED indicator; or, as... Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of another composite photoelectric sensor disclosed in an embodiment of this application. The first device 21 includes an ambient light sensor, and the second device 22 includes an infrared sensor; or, as... Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of another composite photoelectric sensor disclosed in an embodiment of this application. The first device 21 includes an LED indicator, and the second device 22 includes an infrared sensor. The surface of the infrared sensor can be covered with a shielding cover 20, which can shield the infrared sensor from interference from external electromagnetic signals.

[0030] It is understandable that an ambient light sensor can sense ambient light (such as analog or digital ambient light) and convert the ambient light signal into an electrical signal to perform corresponding control operations based on the electrical signal; an LED indicator, also known as an LED light, can emit light of different brightness or color according to different electrical signals to indicate different operations to the user; an infrared sensor, also known as an infrared receiver, can sense infrared light and convert the infrared light signal into an electrical signal to perform corresponding control operations based on the electrical signal.

[0031] In this embodiment, by welding the first device 21 and the second device 22 onto the same substrate 10, and making the first device 21 one of the ambient light sensor, LED indicator, and infrared sensor, and the second device 22 the other one of the ambient light sensor, LED indicator, and infrared sensor, at least two of the ambient light sensor, LED indicator, and infrared sensor can be welded onto the same substrate 10. Thus, by mounting the composite photoelectric sensor onto the circuit board, at least two of the ambient light sensor, LED indicator, and infrared sensor can be mounted onto the circuit board at once, thereby improving the device mounting efficiency and reducing mounting costs.

[0032] Furthermore, soldering at least two of the ambient light sensor, LED indicator, and infrared sensor onto the same substrate 10 can reduce the size of the circuit board and further reduce costs. In addition, soldering at least two of the ambient light sensor, LED indicator, and infrared sensor onto the same substrate 10 facilitates material management and reduces material management costs.

[0033] It should be noted that the ambient light sensor, LED indicator, and infrared sensor can be soldered onto the substrate 10 by means of die bonding and wire bonding. The substrate 10 can have traces and pads, which can realize the electrical connection of the ambient light sensor, LED indicator, and infrared sensor with other circuit boards or other electronic devices.

[0034] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of another composite photoelectric sensor disclosed in an embodiment of this application. The composite photoelectric sensor also includes a first transparent molding compound 31 and a second transparent molding compound 32. The first transparent molding compound 31 is fixed on the substrate 10 and wraps the first device 21, and the second transparent molding compound 32 is fixed on the substrate 10 and wraps the second device 22.

[0035] The first transparent molding compound 31 and the second transparent molding compound 32 are disposed at intervals on the substrate 10. The materials of the first transparent molding compound 31 and the second transparent molding compound 32 are light-transmitting materials, so that the first transparent molding compound 31 can transmit the light emitted or to be sensed by the first device 21, and the second transparent molding compound 32 can transmit the light emitted or to be sensed by the second device 22.

[0036] Based on this, in some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of another composite photoelectric sensor disclosed in an embodiment of this application. The composite photoelectric sensor also includes a first non-transparent molding compound 41, which is fixed on the substrate 10 and wraps around and spaced between the first transparent molding compound 31 and the second transparent molding compound 32.

[0037] The first non-transparent molding compound 41 is made of a non-transparent material. Furthermore, the first non-transparent molding compound 41 can not only enclose the first transparent molding compound 31 and the enclosed first device 21, but also enclose the second transparent molding compound 32 and the enclosed second device 22. It can also separate the first transparent molding compound 31 and the second transparent molding compound 32 to block light from the first device 21 and the second device 22, thus preventing light interference between them.

[0038] In some embodiments of this application, the first transparent molding compound 31 and the second transparent molding compound 32 are made of transparent epoxy resin, and the first non-transparent molding compound 41 is made of infrared resin. The characteristic of infrared resin is that it can transmit infrared light with wavelengths greater than 820nm and block light with wavelengths less than 820nm, thus improving the anti-light interference capability of the infrared sensor. Of course, this application is not limited to this; in other embodiments, the first transparent molding compound 31 and the second transparent molding compound 32 can be made of other light-transmitting materials, and the first non-transparent molding compound 41 can be made of other non-light-transmitting materials.

[0039] Based on this, in some embodiments of this application, the first non-transparent molding compound 41 includes at least a first opening 411. In some embodiments of this application, such as... Figure 5 As shown, when the material of the first non-transparent molding compound 41 is infrared resin material, the first non-transparent molding compound 41 only includes a first opening 411, which exposes the photosensitive surface of the first device 21, such as an ambient light sensor.

[0040] Of course, this application is not limited to this; in other embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of another composite photoelectric sensor disclosed in an embodiment of this application. When the material of the first non-transparent plastic encapsulation 41 is infrared resin material, the first non-transparent plastic encapsulation 41 only includes a first opening 411, which exposes the light-emitting surface of the first device 21, such as an LED indicator.

[0041] In other embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of another composite photoelectric sensor disclosed in an embodiment of this application. When the material of the first non-transparent plastic encapsulation 41 is other non-transparent materials, the first non-transparent plastic encapsulation 41 includes a first opening 411 and a second opening 412. The first opening 411 exposes the photosensitive surface of the first device 21, such as an ambient light sensor, and the second opening 412 exposes the light-emitting surface of the second device 22, such as an LED indicator.

[0042] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 8 As shown, Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of another composite photoelectric sensor disclosed in an embodiment of this application. The composite photoelectric sensor also includes a third device 23, which is soldered onto the substrate 10. The first device 21, the second device 22, and the third device 23 are respectively an ambient light sensor, an LED indicator, and an infrared sensor.

[0043] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 9 As shown, Figure 9This is a schematic diagram of another composite photoelectric sensor disclosed in an embodiment of this application. The composite photoelectric sensor also includes a first transparent molding compound 31, a second transparent molding compound 32, and a third transparent molding compound 33. The first transparent molding compound 31 is fixed on the substrate 10 and wraps the first device 21. The second transparent molding compound 32 is fixed on the substrate 10 and wraps the second device 22. The third transparent molding compound 33 is fixed on the substrate 10 and wraps the third device 23.

[0044] Similarly, the first transparent molding compound 31, the second transparent molding compound 32, and the third transparent molding compound 33 are spaced apart on the substrate 10, and the materials of the first transparent molding compound 31, the second transparent molding compound 32, and the third transparent molding compound 33 are light-transmitting materials, so that the first transparent molding compound 31 can transmit the light emitted or sensed by the first device 21, the second transparent molding compound 32 can transmit the light emitted or sensed by the second device 22, and the third transparent molding compound 33 can transmit the light emitted or sensed by the third device 23.

[0045] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 10 As shown, Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram of another composite photoelectric sensor disclosed in an embodiment of this application. The composite photoelectric sensor also includes a second non-transparent molding compound 42, which is fixed on the substrate 10 and wraps around and spacees the first transparent molding compound 31, the second transparent molding compound 32 and the third transparent molding compound 33.

[0046] Similarly, the material of the second non-transparent molding compound 42 is a non-transparent material. Furthermore, the second non-transparent molding compound 42 can not only enclose the first transparent molding compound 31 and the first device 21 it encloses, the second transparent molding compound 32 and the second device 22 it encloses, and the third transparent molding compound 33 and the third device 23 it encloses, but can also separate any two of the first transparent molding compound 31, the second transparent molding compound 32, and the third transparent molding compound 33 to block the light between any two of the first device 21, the second device 22, and the third device 23, so as to prevent the light from the first device 21, the second device 22, and the third device 23 from interfering with each other.

[0047] In some embodiments of this application, the materials of the first transparent molding compound 31, the second transparent molding compound 32, and the third transparent molding compound 33 include transparent epoxy resin, and the material of the second non-transparent molding compound 42 includes infrared resin. Of course, this application is not limited to this; in other embodiments, the materials of the first transparent molding compound 31, the second transparent molding compound 32, and the third transparent molding compound 33 may also be other light-transmitting materials, and the material of the second non-transparent molding compound 42 may also be other non-light-transmitting materials.

[0048] Based on this, in some embodiments of this application, the second non-transparent molding compound 42 includes at least a first opening 411 and a second opening 412. In some embodiments of this application, such as... Figure 10 As shown, when the material of the second non-transparent molding compound 42 is infrared resin material, the second non-transparent molding compound 42 only includes a first opening 411 and a second opening 412. The first opening 411 exposes the photosensitive surface of the first device 21, such as an ambient light sensor, and the second opening 412 exposes the light-emitting surface of the second device 22, such as an LED indicator.

[0049] Of course, this application is not limited to this. In other embodiments, when the material of the second non-transparent molding is other non-transparent materials, the second non-transparent molding includes a first opening, a second opening and a third opening. The first opening exposes the photosensitive surface of a first device, such as an ambient light sensor, the second opening exposes the light-emitting surface of a second device, such as an LED indicator, and the third opening exposes the photosensitive surface of a third device, such as an infrared sensor.

[0050] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figures 8 to 10 As shown, the first device 21, the second device 22, and the third device 23 are arranged in a line on the substrate 10. Of course, this application is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the first device 21, the second device 22, and the third device 23 are also arranged in a triangular pattern on the substrate 10, which will not be described in detail here.

[0051] As another optional implementation of the disclosure in this application, embodiments of this application also disclose an electronic device, which includes the composite photoelectric sensor disclosed in any of the above embodiments, and the electronic device includes electrical appliances such as mobile phones, computers, and refrigerators.

[0052] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0053] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of several implementation methods described in detail, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this specification, and these all fall within the scope of protection of this specification. Therefore, the scope of protection of this patent should be determined by the appended claims.
