20250180706. Multi-function Emitter Array (Apple .)
Multi-function emitter array
Abstract: an optoelectronic device includes a semiconductor substrate and an array of emitters disposed on the substrate. the array includes a first sub-array, having a first pitch, disposed in a peripheral area of the substrate, a second sub-array, also having the first pitch, disposed in a central area of the substrate, which is contained within the peripheral area, and a third sub-array, having a second pitch finer than the first pitch, interleaved with the second sub-array in the central area of the substrate. conductors disposed on the substrate are configured to activate the first, second, and third sub-arrays selectively.
