The invention described herein represents a significant improvement in creating low profile light segmenting devices for cameras, sensors, lighting, and information displays. Photon sensors and/or photon emitters are positioned along the focal curve of a lens so as to efficiently collect light from discrete portions of the background and efficiently emit light into discrete portions of the background. In one embodiment a first emitter such as an LED is positioned at a first focal point on a focal curve, and a second emitter such as an LED is positioned at a second focal point on a focal curve, the focal curve not being flat and being a shape corresponding to the characteristics of an integral lens. In another embodiment a first light receiver such as a photodiode is positioned at a first focal point on a focal curve, and a second light receiver such as a photodiode is positioned at a second focal point on a focal curve, the focal curve not being flat and being a shape corresponding to the characteristics of an integral lens.
