A light sensing film formed by laminating together a transparent/translucent
material,
an upper transparent electrode, a photosensitive dielectric layer including photosensitive
dielectric material, and a lower electrode formed from conductive material such
as carbon, a silver coating, a metallic plate, or a conductive coating. A capacitor
is composed between the two electrodes. As the dielectric constant of the photosensitive
dielectric layer between the two electrodes changes when light enters, capacitance
of the capacitor changes, and light intensity can be detected. To regulate capacitance,
an additional dielectric layer may be provided between the photosensitive dielectric
layer and the lower electrode. The underside of the electrode may be laminated
with protective material.
