INTEGRAL OPTICAL SENSOR PACKAGE
First Claim
1. An integrated optical sensor package, comprising:
- a remote control sensor unit including one or more remote control elements for receiving a light signal in an infrared (IR) band, converting the light signal in the infrared band into a first electrical signal, and outputting the first electrical signal;
an illuminance sensor for receiving a light signal in a visible light band, converting the light signal in the visible light band into a second electrical signal, and outputting the second electrical signal;
a lead frame including one or more mounting parts in which the one or more remote control elements and the illuminance sensor are respectively mounted, the lead frame having one or more output terminals for outputting the first and second electrical signals output from the one or more remote control elements and the illuminance sensor to outside of the lead frame; and
a housing for accommodating the remote control sensor unit and the illuminance sensor,wherein the one or more remote control elements are coated with an IR coating agent for transmitting only light in the IR band and blocking light in bands other than the IR band, andwherein the illuminance sensor is coated with a visible light coating agent for transmitting only light in the visible light band and blocking light in bands other than the visible light band.

Abstract
The present invention relates to an integral optical sensor package. More particularly, the present invention relates to an integral optical sensor package in which a light sensor for receiving a visible light band and a remote control sensor for receiving a light signal of an IR band are integrated such that the two sensors may receive the light of the unique light bands thereof without mutual interference. Further, a light-emitting means for indicating the operation of the remote control sensor can be integrated with the light sensor and the remote control sensor, thus reducing the number of processes and costs for manufacturing an apparatus.

6. An integrated optical sensor package, comprising:
-
a housing made of a light-transmitting compound; a remote control sensor unit to selectively receive only a light signal in an infrared (IR) band from among light signals incident into the housing, convert the received light signal into an electrical signal, and output the electrical signal; light emitting unit to indicate that the remote control sensor unit has received the light signal in the IR band, via light emission; and a lead frame including one or more mounting parts in which the remote control sensor unit and the light emitting unit are respectively mounted, the lead frame having one or more output terminals for outputting the electrical signal output from the remote control sensor unit to outside of the lead frame. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
