LIGHT DETECTOR AND DISTANCE MEASUREMENT DEVICE

Japanese Patent JP2022044340

A

To select pixels in consideration of a change in a tilt that occurs in a light receiving pattern.SOLUTION: A light detector includes a plurality of pixels each of which includes at least one sensor and which is two-dimensionally arranged in a first direction and a second direction intersecting each other in a pixel area on a substrate, and a control section. The control section is configured to turn on a first subset of the plurality of pixels corresponding to a first partial pixel area in the pixel area on the basis of first coordinate information of the pixel area in the first direction and to turn on a second subset of the plurality of pixels corresponding to a second partial pixel area in the pixel area on the basis of second coordinate information of the pixel area, which is different from the first coordinate information in the first direction. A first tilt of the first partial pixel area in the first direction with respect to the second direction differs from a second tilt of the second partial pixel area in the first direction with respect to the second direction.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
