Abstract
A time-of-flight sensor includes a first light ray generation circuit and a second light ray reception circuit. A resin layer encapsulates the first light ray generation circuit and the second light ray reception circuit. A first region configured to emit light rays of the first light ray generation circuit is exposed at a surface of the resin layer. A second region configured to receive light rays of the second light ray reception circuit is also exposed at that surface of the resin layer. The surface of the resin layer is configured to be directed towards a scene.
