Abstract:
According to one embodiment, a photodetector includes a sensor unit including at least one photosensor, a liquid crystal element including a first substrate includes a plurality of first control electrodes, a second substrate including a second control electrode, and a liquid crystal layer held between the first substrate and the second substrate, a liquid crystal controller which controls a voltage to be applied to the liquid crystal layer for forming a first lens that is opposed to the photosensor in the liquid crystal layer, and a sensor controller which controls the sensor unit.

Claim (Index 3):
The photodetector of  claim 1 , further comprising a memory unit which stores a first voltage for forming the first lens of a first shape in the liquid crystal layer, and a second voltage for forming the first lens of a second shape different from the first shape in the liquid crystal layer, wherein\n the sensor controller measures an output from the photosensor when the first voltage is applied to the liquid crystal layer, and measures an output from the photosensor when the second voltage is applied to the liquid crystal layer.
