Abstract:
A light sensing apparatus includes a sheet passage, a first sensing assembly and a first background sheet. The sheet passage has a scan window. The first sensing assembly disposed on a first side of the scan window outputs first scan light to the scan window. The first background sheet disposed on a second side of the scan window has a first reflective surface reflecting the first scan light, passing through the scan window, back to the first sensing assembly through the scan window. The first reflective surface of the first background sheet and the scan window are disposed in a non-parallel manner. Therefore, a light sensing method is also provided to achieve the effects of brightness calibration and boundary detection of the first sensing assembly.

Claim (Index 8):
The light sensing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein when a data medium is transported by a transporting mechanism of the light sensing apparatus past the scan window along the sheet passage, a first portion of the first scan light is reflected, by a first surface of the data medium, back to the first sensing assembly to generate a first scan signal, and a second portion of the first scan light is reflected, by the first background sheet, back to the first sensing assembly to generate a first background signal.
