Abstract

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a substrate, a first light-shielding layer, a second light-shielding layer, a third light-shielding layer and an optical sensing element. The first light-shielding layer is disposed on the substrate and has a first opening. The second light-shielding layer is disposed on the first light-shielding layer and has a second opening. The third light-shielding layer is disposed on the second light-shielding layer and has a third opening. The optical sensing element is disposed on the substrate, and overlapped with the first opening. In addition, in a top-view diagram, centers of the first opening, the second opening and the third opening are separated from each other along a first direction, and the first direction is a line connecting a center of the first opening and a center of the third opening.

Claims (18)

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a substrate;

a first light-shielding layer disposed on the substrate and having a first opening;

a second light-shielding layer disposed on the first light-shielding layer and having a second opening;

a third light-shielding layer disposed on the second light-shielding layer and having a third opening; and

an optical sensing element disposed on the substrate, and overlapped with the first opening;

wherein in a top-view diagram, centers of the first opening, the second opening and the third opening are separated from each other along a first direction, and the first direction is a line connecting a center of the first opening and a center of the third opening,

wherein in a cross-sectional diagram, the first light-shielding layer comprises a first portion and a second portion located at opposite sides of the first opening, the third light-shielding layer comprises a third portion and a fourth portion located at opposite sides of the third opening, the first portion and the third portion are located at the same side of the third opening, wherein a width of the first portion is less than a width of the second portion, and a width of the third portion is greater than a width of the fourth portion.

2. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first opening is not overlapped with the third opening.

3. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a size of the first opening is different from a size of the third opening.

4. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a first distance between an inner edge of the third light-shielding layer and an edge of the substrate along a direction parallel to a surface of the substrate is greater than a second distance between an inner edge of the first light-shielding layer and the edge of the substrate along the direction.

5. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first light-shielding layer, the second light-shielding layer and the third light-shielding layer comprises an organic material.

6. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first light-shielding layer, the second light-shielding layer and the third light-shielding layer comprises a metal material.

7. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first light-shielding layer, the second light-shielding layer and the third light-shielding layer overlap each other.

8. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the third portion of the third light-shielding layer at least partially overlaps the first portion of the first light-shielding layer.

9. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein sizes of the first opening, the second opening and the third opening are different.

10. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the optical sensing element is overlapped with the second opening and the third opening.

11. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the optical sensing element is configured to receive a light which passes through at least one of the first opening, the second opening and the third opening.
