[0002] The present application relates to the technical field of electronic device accessories, in particular to a stylus and an electronic device comprising the same. BACKGROUND

[0003] 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.

[0004] 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

[0005] The present application provides a stylus and an electronic device comprising the same. The purpose is to provide a stylus with high light source emission power and high photodetector sensitivity.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the embodiments of the present application adopt the following technical solutions:

[0009] Since the photoelectric detector is arranged on the light path of the light emitting device, the light emitted by the light emitting device is blocked by the photoelectric detector. However, the present application can ensure the amount of light signals emitted to the target object by arranging the first light reflection structure and the second light reflection structure. 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 photoelectric detector can be projected to the target object through the matched first light reflection structure and the second light reflection structure, so as to ensure the amount of light signals emitted to the target object and ensure the light source coupling efficiency.

Compared with the arrangement of the light emitting device and the photoelectric detector along the radial dimension of the stylus tail, the present application can select a light emitting device with a larger light emitting area and a photoelectric detector with a larger light sensitive area, thereby improving the emission power of the light emitting device and the sensitivity of the photoelectric detector; and the radial dimension of the stylus tail can be effectively reduced, which is conducive to the miniaturization design of the stylus.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0132] Embodiments of the present application provide a stylus that can be used with an electronic device having a touch display. The electronic device can be a desktop computer, a laptop, a tablet, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a handheld computer, a talkman, a netbook, a POS machine, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a mobile terminal, a stationary terminal, or a foldable device.

[0133] As shown in FIG. 1, which is a structural diagram of a stylus 100 according to an example of the present application. The electronic device can have a touch display, and the stylus 100 can provide input to the electronic device, 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 graphical pattern drawn by the electronic device.

[0134] As shown in FIG. 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, for example, by a threaded connection, or by a clamping structure, such as a clasp and a slot.

[0135] The body 101 can have a receiving space, and some structural members or electronic devices can be disposed in the receiving space. For example, a battery can be disposed in the receiving space to provide power to the stylus.

[0136] The stylus 100 for inputting to the electronic device can include a light emitting device and a photoelectric detector. The light emitting device can emit a light signal, and the photoelectric detector can sense the light signal reflected from the target object.

[0137] The light emitting device can be a light emitting diode, such as an LED.

[0138] In some examples, when the photoelectric detector is used to sense the color of the light signal reflected on the target object, the photoelectric detector can include XYZ sensor, RGB sensor. In some other examples, when the photoelectric detector is used to sense the pattern of the light signal reflected on the target object, the photoelectric detector can include Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) detector, Charge-Coupled Device (CCD).

[0139] In order to improve the touch sensitivity, the light emitting device and the photoelectric detector of the above examples are arranged in the tail 103 in FIG. 1. The accommodating space in the tail 103 is small, so that the light emitting device and the photoelectric detector can be selected to have a small size, and then the light emitting area of the light emitting device and the photosensitive area of the photoelectric detector are small, which can result in low emission power of the light emitting device and low detection sensitivity of the photoelectric detector.

[0140] In order to improve the low emission power of the light emitting device and the low detection sensitivity of the photoelectric detector, some structures that can be implemented are given in the embodiments of the present application.

[0141] As shown in FIG. 2, which is a simple structure diagram of a tail according to an embodiment of the present application, the position 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 FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the light emitting device 1 and the photoelectric detector 2 can be arranged along the X direction.

[0142] The light emitting device 1 and the photoelectric detector 2 can be arranged along the length direction of the stylus. Compared with the light emitting device 1 and the photoelectric detector 2 arranged along the radial direction of the stylus (such as the Y direction in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2), the light emitting device 1 with a larger light emitting area can be selected, and the photoelectric detector 2 with a larger photosensitive area can be selected, so that the emission power of the light emitting device can be improved, and the detection sensitivity of the photoelectric detector can be improved. For example, when the stylus is used to take color, the color taking signal-to-noise ratio can be improved, and the color taking accuracy can be improved.

[0143] As shown in FIG. 2, 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 shown in FIG. 1 than the photoelectric detector 2.

[0144] As shown in FIG. 2, the light emitted by the light emitting device 1 is partially blocked by the photodetector 2. In order to emit the light blocked by the photodetector 2 from the stylus, the stylus can further include a first light reflecting structure 31 and a second light reflecting structure 41. The first light reflecting structure 31 is located on the light path of the light emitting device 1, and is configured to reflect the light from the light emitting device 1. The second light reflecting structure 41 is located on the light path of the light reflected by the first light reflecting structure 31, and is configured to reflect the light from the first light reflecting structure 31.

[0145] In FIG. 2, the thinner and arrowed dashed line schematically shows the propagation path of the light emitted by the light emitting device 1. Part of the light emitted by the light emitting device 1 can be projected onto the first light reflecting structure 31, the first light reflecting structure 31 reflects the light from the light emitting device 1, and the reflected light is projected onto the second light reflecting structure 41, the second light reflecting structure 41 reflects the light from the first light reflecting structure 31, and the reflected light can be projected outside the stylus and onto the target object.

[0146] With the matched first light reflecting structure 31 and second light reflecting structure 41, 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 outside the stylus, so that the light emitting efficiency of the light emitting device 1 is not reduced.

[0147] As shown in FIG. 2, the thicker 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 photodetector 2 can sufficiently receive the light signal reflected by the target object, and the detection sensitivity of the photodetector 2 is improved.

[0148] As shown in FIG. 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. In the example shown in FIG. 2, 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 side of 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 the example of FIG. 2, in order to make more light emitted by the light emitting device 1 received by the first light reflecting structure 31, and to improve the light coupling efficiency of the light emitting device 1, as shown in FIG. 3, the second light reflecting structure 41 is provided with a light passing hole 401, and light emitted by the light emitting device 1 can pass through the light passing hole 401 to project onto the first light reflecting structure 31, so that more light emitted by the light emitting device 1 projects onto the first light reflecting structure 31.

[0151] As shown in FIG. 3, the part of the second light reflecting structure 41 located at the outer periphery of the light passing hole 401 forms a reflecting part 402, and the reflecting part 402 is used to reflect the reflected light from the first light reflecting structure 31.

[0152] In order to make more light emitted by the light emitting device 1 received by the first light reflecting structure 31, the projection of the light passing hole 401 on the light emitting surface of the light emitting device 1 is located outside the light emitting surface of the light emitting device 1. It can be understood that the area of the light passing hole 401 is greater than the area of the light emitting surface of the light emitting device 1.

[0153] In order to make more light emitted by the light emitting device 1 received by the first light reflecting structure 31, and to improve the light coupling efficiency, the projection of the first light reflecting structure 31 on the light emitting surface of the light emitting device 1 is located outside the light emitting surface of the light emitting device 1. It can be understood that the area of the reflecting surface of the first light reflecting structure 31 is greater than the area of the light emitting surface of the light emitting device 1.

[0154] In some optional structures, the light passing hole 401 can be a circular hole as shown in FIG. 3. In other optional structures, the light passing hole 401 can be an elliptical hole or a square hole as shown in FIG. 3.

[0155] As shown in the example of FIG. 3, it is shown that the first light reflecting structure 31 is a circular structure. In other examples, the first light reflecting structure 31 can be an elliptical or rectangular structure, or other shapes.

[0156] In some optional processes, a mirror can be used, and the light passing hole 401 is formed on the mirror to manufacture the second light reflecting structure 41 as shown in FIG. 3.

[0157] In other examples, as shown in FIG. 4, the second light reflecting structure 41 includes a plurality of mirrors, and the plurality of mirrors are connected in sequence along the circumference to form a reflecting structure with the light passing hole 401. For example, in FIG. 4, the second light reflecting structure 41 includes a first mirror 4A, a second mirror 4B, a third mirror 4C, and a fourth mirror 4D, and the first mirror 4A, the second mirror 4B, the third mirror 4C, and the fourth mirror 4D are connected in sequence to form the light passing hole 401. Among the first mirror 4A, the second mirror 4B, the third mirror 4C, and the fourth mirror 4D, adjacent two mirrors can be connected by adhesive.

[0158] The first light reflection structure 31 and the second light reflection structure 41 can be implemented in various ways. Some examples are given below.

[0159] For example, the first light reflection structure 31 can include a substrate 31A and a reflective film 32A disposed on the substrate 31A.

[0160] For example, the substrate 31A can be made of glass or metal. The surface of the glass or metal can be polished.

[0161] For example, the substrate 31A can be made of glass or metal. The surface of the glass or metal can be polished.

[0162] In the example of FIG. 6, the metal film 321 is soft. By covering the metal film 321 with a hard dielectric film 322, the metal film 321 can be protected, and the reliability of the light reflection structure can be improved.

[0163] In addition, the metal film 321 as a reflective film layer has a wide wavelength range, which improves the light coupling efficiency.

[0164] In some implementations, the metal film 321 can be stacked on the substrate 31A without the dielectric film 322. Alternatively, the dielectric film 322 can be stacked on the substrate 31A without the metal film 321.

[0165] To improve the light reflection efficiency, as shown in FIG. 7, a plurality of dielectric films can be stacked on the substrate 31A, and the refractive indices of adjacent two dielectric films are different. For example, the first light reflection structure 31 can include a first dielectric film 3221, a second dielectric film 3222, and a third dielectric film 3223 stacked on the substrate 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. Through the reflection of the plurality of dielectric films, the reflectivity of the light reflection structure can be improved, and the light absorption loss can be reduced.

[0166] As shown in FIG. 8, FIG. 8 illustrates the optical path relationship of the light emitting device 1, the first light reflection structure 31, and the second light reflection structure 41. 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. The convex surface is used to diffuse more light to the second light reflection structure 41.

[0167] The first reflection surface S1 is a convex surface. The convex surface can be a hyperboloid, or can be a spherical surface.

[0168] As shown in FIG. 8, the second light reflection structure 41 includes a second reflection surface S2, the second reflection surface S2 is configured to reflect the light from the first light reflection structure 31; the second reflection surface S2 is a concave surface, and the concave surface is configured to make the reflected light parallel to the second light reflection structure 41.

[0169] The second reflection surface S2 is a concave surface, and the concave surface can be a parabolic surface, a hyperbolic surface, an elliptic surface, or a spherical surface.

[0170] In order to improve the light coupling efficiency, as shown in FIG. 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 that 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 as follows:

[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, as shown in FIG. 9, 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] In some styluses, as shown in FIG. 10, the first light reflection structure 31 can be symmetrically arranged about the optical axis Q3 of the light emitting device 1. In this way, the first light reflection structure 31 can receive more light from the light emitting device 1, and the light coupling efficiency of the light emitting device 1 can be improved.

[0176] In some styluses, the second light reflection structure 41 can be symmetrically arranged about the optical axis Q3 of the light emitting device 1, as shown in FIG. 10. For example, in FIG. 10, the second light reflection structure 41 includes a light passing hole 401 and a reflection portion 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 portion 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 includes a plurality of mirrors as described above and shown in FIG. 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, as shown in FIG. 11, a diffuser plate 5 can also be included, which can scatter the light from the second light reflection structure 41 and make the light uniformly distributed and exit the stylus. In some structures, as shown in FIG. 11, the diffuser plate 5 is arranged on the side of the reflection surface of the second light reflection structure 41.

[0179] In some alternative materials, the diffuser plate 5 can be selected from glass, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polycarbonate (PC), or poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA). For example, the diffuser plate 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] FIG. 12 is a simple structure diagram of another pen tail given by an embodiment of the present application, which 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, as shown in FIG. 12, the light emitting device 1 and the photodetector 2 can be arranged along the X direction.

[0182] The light emitting device 1 and the photodetector 2 in the example of FIG. 12 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 the example of FIG. 12, the photodetector 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 photodetector 2.

[0184] In the example of FIG. 12, the tail 103 includes a light-transmitting region 103A, which is in an arc structure and protrudes towards the outside of the tail, and the light emitted from the light-transmitting region 103A is parallel light.

[0185] In some styluses, the cap can not be provided to be sleeved on the tail, and the structure shown in FIG. 12 can be directly used as the cap, so that the structure of the stylus can be simplified, and the arc structure can optimize the appearance aesthetics.

[0186] In order to make the light emitted from the light-transmitting region 103A be parallel light, the second light reflection structure 41 can adopt the structure shown in FIG. 13 and FIG. 14, which is a sectional view along A-A of FIG. 13, wherein the second light reflection structure 41 has a second reflection surface S2, which can be a concave surface as shown in FIG. 14.

[0187] By matching the concave second reflection surface S2 and the arc structure of the light-transmitting region 103A shown in FIG. 12, the light emitted from the light-transmitting region 103A can be parallel light.

[0188] As shown in FIG. 14, the curvature of the concave surface can be matched with the curvature of the arc structure of the light-transmitting region 103A to make the light emitted from the light-transmitting region 103A be parallel light.

[0189] FIG. 15, FIG. 16 and FIG. 17 are schematic structural diagrams of a tail according to an embodiment of the present application, FIG. 16 is an exploded view of FIG. 15, and FIG. 17 is a sectional view of FIG. 15. The tail 103 includes a shell 1031 having a light-transmitting region 103A, and the light-transmitting region 103A is separated from the shell 1031 in FIG. 16. In some structures, the light-transmitting region 103A and the shell 1031 are an integral structure.

[0190] The shell 1031 has an accommodation space, and some structures such as the light-emitting device 1, the photoelectric detector 2, the first light reflection structure 31 and the second light reflection structure 41 are arranged in the accommodation space.

[0191] As shown in FIG. 17, a support 6 can be arranged in the accommodation space, and as shown in FIG. 17 and FIG. 18, the support 6 has a first support table 61 on which the light-emitting device 1 can be arranged, and the support 6 also has a second support table 62 on which the second light reflection structure 41 is arranged.

[0192] The diffusion plate 5 serves as a support structure of the first light reflection structure 31 and the photoelectric detector 2, and the first light reflection structure 31 and the photoelectric detector 2 are oppositely arranged on two sides of the diffusion plate 5.

[0193] Figure 19 is a structure diagram of another pen tail given by the embodiment of the present application, which shows 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. As shown in 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 (e.g. the Y direction in Figure 19) 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 sampling, the color sampling signal-to-noise ratio can be improved, and the color sampling accuracy can be improved.

[0195] In the example of Figure 19, the photodetector 2 has a light receiving surface for receiving light reflected by the 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 photodetector 2 is arranged closer to the pen body 101 shown in Figure 1 than the light emitting device 1. In this way, more light emitted by the light emitting device 1 can irradiate the target object.

[0196] As shown in Figure 19, since 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 on the light path of the photodetector 2. In order to make more light reflected by the target object be received by the photodetector 2, as shown in Figure 19, a third light reflecting structure 32 and a fourth light reflecting structure 42 can be further included. The third light reflecting structure 32 is located on the light path of the light reflected by the target object, and the third light reflecting structure 32 is used for reflecting the light from the target object. The fourth light reflecting structure 42 is located on the light path of the light reflected by the third light reflecting structure 32, and the fourth light reflecting structure 42 is used for reflecting 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. It can be understood that the light reflected by the target object has a light path to the photodetector 2, 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 by the target object to the photodetector. The light reflected by 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 the reflected light is reflected onto the fourth light reflecting structure 42. The fourth light reflecting structure 42 reflects the light from the third light reflecting structure 32, and the reflected light 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 more light reflected by the target object be received by the photodetector 2, as shown in FIG. 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] As shown in FIG. 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 shown in FIG. 19, the fourth light reflecting structure 42 is arranged on the side of the light emitting device 1 away from the light emitting surface, that is, the fourth light reflecting structure 42 is located on the back surface of the light emitting device 1.

[0202] As shown in FIG. 19, 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 be projected onto the photodetector 2.

[0203] As shown in FIG. 19, 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 for reflecting the light from the target object.

[0204] The third light reflecting structure 32 and the fourth light reflecting structure 42 in the example of FIG. 19 can adopt the structures shown in FIGS. 5 to 7 described above. For example, the third light reflecting structure 32 can include a substrate and a reflecting film arranged on the substrate, and 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 shown in FIG. 20, FIG. 20 shows the optical path relationship of the photodetector 2, the third light reflecting structure 32 and the fourth light reflecting structure 42. In this example, the third light reflecting structure 32 has a third reflecting surface Q3, and the third reflecting surface Q3 is used for reflecting the light from the target object to the fourth light reflecting structure 42; the third reflecting surface Q3 is a concave surface, and the concave surface is used to reflect more light to the fourth light reflecting structure 42.

[0206] The third reflecting surface Q3 is a concave surface, which can be a parabolic surface, a hyperbolic surface, an elliptical surface or a spherical surface.

[0207] As shown in FIG. 20, the fourth light reflecting structure 42 includes a fourth reflecting surface Q4, and the fourth reflecting surface Q4 is used for reflecting the light from the third light reflecting structure 32 to the photodetector 2; the fourth reflecting surface Q4 is a convex surface.

[0208] The fourth reflecting 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 receiving surface of the photodetector 2.

[0210] The light reflection region of the fourth light reflection structure 42 is in the light hole, so that the photodetector 2 can receive more light.
