专利汇可以提供Optical-to-electrical signal transducer apparatus专利检索,专利查询,专利分析的服务。并且A photosensitive semiconductor array includes a plurality of photodiodes with separate output electrodes and color filters overlaying each photodiode. Each of the photodiodes, when simultaneously exposed to a point source of image bearing multicolored light focused on the photodiode array, responds by producing signals at its output terminals. The size of each photodiode and the filters overlaying same may be altered to change the response thereof. The photodiode array is useful in translating a light beam scanning motion picture film frames into red, green and blue color signals.,下面是Optical-to-electrical signal transducer apparatus专利的具体信息内容。
