Claim:
1. An optical sensor device for the detection of ambient light, which is adapted to be coupled to a pane ( 10 ), comprising a sensor unit which includes at least one light receiver ( 22 ) for ambient light and a lens plate ( 12 ) for directionally coupling an ambient light beam ( 26 ) out of the pane ( 10 ) onto the light receiver ( 22 ), the lens plate ( 12 ) having a substantially planar first surface ( 16 ) facing the pane ( 10 ) and a second surface ( 18 ) facing the light receiver ( 22 ) and oriented substantially parallel to the pane ( 10 ) in the coupled condition of the optical sensor device, wherein the second surface ( 18 ) includes a prism structure ( 20 ) having a plurality of single prisms ( 24 ) which are designed to direct the rays of a specific ambient light beam ( 26 ) defined by a principal direction (A) and an aperture angle onto the light receiver ( 22 ), wherein the single prisms (
