Abstract

A technique for trimming photoresistors to change relatively high tolerance parts to relatively low tolerance parts by blocking out a portion of the photoactive area, and the so-trimmed photoresistors. The blocking out can be performed by placing ink over the photo-active area. This ink placement step can be easily added in the photoresistor assembly line after the initial calibration location.
