Abstract

A method and a structure are provided to increase a receiving angle of an optical sensor. The structure includes touchscreen glass, an optical sensor, and a main board. An ambient light hole is provided on the touchscreen glass. The optical sensor is disposed between the touchscreen glass and the main board. A light uniformizing film is disposed between the touchscreen glass and the optical sensor, is in contact with the touchscreen glass, and completely covers the ambient light hole. A handheld terminal includes the foregoing structure.

Claims (33)

1. A structure, comprising:

touchscreen glass;

an ambient light hole provided on the touchscreen glass;

a main board;

an optical sensor disposed between the touchscreen glass and the main board; and

a light uniformizing film disposed between the touchscreen glass and the optical sensor, the light uniformizing film in contact with the touchscreen glass and completely covering the ambient light hole.

2. The structure according to claim 1 , wherein the light uniformizing film contains a polytetrafluoroethylene material.

3. The structure according to claim 2 , wherein the polytetrafluoroethylene material contains light uniformizing particles.

4. The structure according to claim 1 , wherein the structure is configured to increase a receiving angle of the optical sensor.

5. A handheld device, comprising:

a casing;

touchscreen glass at an outside surface of the casing;

an ambient light hole provided on the touchscreen glass;

a main board;

an optical sensor disposed between the touchscreen glass and the main board; and

a light uniformizing film disposed between the touchscreen glass and the optical sensor, the light uniformizing film in contact with the touchscreen glass and completely covering the ambient light hole.

6. The handheld device according to claim 5 , wherein the device is designed to increase a receiving angle of the optical sensor.

7. The handheld device according to claim 5 , wherein the touchscreen glass is embedded in the casing.

8. The handheld device according to claim 7 , wherein the optical sensor is fixed inside the casing.

9. The handheld device according to claim 5 , wherein the light uniformizing film contains a polytetrafluoroethylene material.

10. The handheld device according to claim 9 , wherein the polytetrafluoroethylene material contains light uniformizing particles.

11. The handheld device according to claim 5 , further comprising a liquid crystal display within the casing adjacent the touchscreen glass.

12. The handheld device according to claim 5 , wherein the handheld device comprises a handheld terminal.

13. A method comprising:

collecting, by a light uniformizing film, incident external ambient light passing through touchscreen glass;

conducting the incident external ambient light to an optical sensor; and

controlling, by the optical sensor, brightness of a liquid crystal display according to intensity of the collected light.

14. The method according to claim 13 , wherein controlling the brightness of the liquid crystal display comprises:

determining brightness data corresponding to the intensity of the collected light according to preset correspondence between light intensity and brightness; and

adjusting the brightness of the liquid crystal display according to the brightness data.

15. The method according to claim 13 , wherein the light uniformizing film contains a polytetrafluoroethylene material.

16. The method according to claim 15 , wherein the polytetrafluoroethylene material contains light uniformizing particles.

17. The method according to claim 13 , wherein the liquid crystal display is part of a handheld terminal.
