Abstract
A light detecting method is provided. The light detecting method includes following steps. A light beam is sensed to generate a photocurrent. A predetermined current is subtracted from the photocurrent. The photocurrent is converted to a voltage.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A light detecting method, comprising:
sensing a light beam to generate a photocurrent; subtracting a predetermined current from the photocurrent; and converting the photocurrent to a voltage.
2 . The light detecting method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the light beam is sensed by a light sensor.
3 . The light detecting method as claimed in claim 2 , further comprising a step of determining the amount of the predetermined current and the amount of the photocurrent according to a color enable signal and a register table.
4 . The light detecting method as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the predetermined current is generated by a programmable current source, and the light beam is sensed by a photodiode array.
5 . The light detecting method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the amount of the predetermined current is set as a threshold current value such that the voltage is converted from the photocurrent when the amount of the photocurrent is greater than the threshold current value.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
