Abstract
There is provided a sensor device, a sensor module, and methods for determining a position of a light source. The sensor device comprises a plurality of sensor units, each sensor unit having a respective sensor area. The sensor device also comprises a mask disposed above the plurality of sensor units and arranged such that incident light from the light source will illuminate different regions of the sensor area of each one of the sensor units depending on the position of the light source relative to the sensor device. The position of the light source may therefore be determined based on which regions of the sensor area of the sensor units are illuminated. Further, each sensor unit is arranged to be controlled by a respective unit controller to determine the position of the light source.
