Abstract
A movement detection device, including a multi-element photodiode, the multi-element photodiode comprising a plurality of pixels, referred to as megapixels, and, for at least one megapixel of the multi-element photodiode, a mask partially obscuring a sensitive zone of said megapixel, the mask consisting of a plurality of zones including at least one opaque zone and at least one transparent zone, an opaque zone being able to prevent a light beam from fully reaching portions of the sensitive zone of the megapixel corresponding to the opaque zone, a transparent zone being able to allow a light beam to reach a portion of the sensitive surface of the megapixel corresponding to the transparent zone, each opaque zone having at least one adjacent transparent zone so as to obtain an alternation of opaque zones and transparent zones in the mask.
