Abstract:
An optical sensor system comprising:a plurality of photosensors for providing a plurality of outputs proportional to the light energy applied thereto; a resin disposed over said plurality of photosensors to form a flat surface; a dye disposed on said flat surface by a process selected from a group consisting of silk-screening, printing, painting, and a combination thereof in a form selected from a group consisting of paint, gel, ink, and a combination thereof, said dye for each of said plurality of photosensors, each of said dyes selected for the discrimination ability of the bandpass spectrum thereof for portions of the spectrums of illumination selected from a group consisting of: daylight, afternoon light, fluorescent, incandescent, photoflash, and combination thereof; a processing system responsive to said plurality of outputs to determine the presence of light energy attributable to illumination from the: daylight, afternoon light, fluorescent incandescent, photoflash, and combination thereof.
