Abstract
An optical lens has a light sensing die integrated into the optical lens. The optical lens is extended compared to a spherical optical lens such that the optical lens is elongated in order to allow for placement of the ambient light sensing die without causing any blocking or distortion of the optical lens. The shape of the optical lens and the placement of the ambient light sensing die is compensated for the change in shape compared to a spherical optical lens thus allowing for correct focal length parametrics.
Claims7
An optical lens for a camera utilizing ambient light sensing with an ambient light sensing die integrated into the optical lens of the camera, wherein shape of the optical lens is extended compared to a shape of a spherical optical lens such that a portion of the optical lens is laterally elongated relative to an optical axis of the optical lens, and the ambient light sensing die is located within the laterally elongated portion of the optical lens without causing any blocking or distortion of the optical lens and wherein the shape of the optical lens and the placement of the ambient light sensing die is compensated for by the change in shape compared to a spherical optical lens thus allowing for correct focal length parametrics.
