Most culinary herbs tolerate direct sunlight.
It would be easier to list the few that do not tolerate sunlight well:
The mint family are fine in shade, and do well in partial sun, but do not thrive in full sun unless kept well watered.
Chervil will bolt (go to seed) much more quickly in direct sunlight as it is not fond of the heat.
Cilantro/Coriander is happiest with shade form the heat in the afternoon (bright sun in the morning)
Dill is another herb that likes a bit of shade from the hot afternoon sun.
Mitsuba (an herb somewhat like parsley) prefers the dappled shade under trees.
Salad Burnet likes so shade but requires 6 hours sun per day to do well.
Lettuces tend to bolt and acquire a bitter "green" taste, in full sun. A bit of shade in the heat of the day will extend your harvest of lettuce.
Stevia (an herb used as sweetener) prefers only 3-4 hours of sunlight per day as it is quite tender.
That leaves the following herbs, all of which do well in direct sun:
Angelica, arugula, basil, bay, bergamot, borage, calendula, caraway, chicory, chives (regular and garlic), fennel, fenugreek, garden cress, horseradish, hops, hyssop, lavender, mellisa (lemon balm), lemon grass, lemon verbena, lovage, marjoram, oregano, mustard, parsley, rosemary, sage, savory (summer the anual and winter the perennial), tarragon and thyme.

Where is the sunlight more direct?
Direct sunlight, that is the incidence of sunlight on a geographical area, varies with the time of year. Because of the relative tilt of the earth, about 23 degrees, when it is summer in one hemisphere, north or south, it is the opposite season in the other. The sun appears no more than 23 degrees north or south of the equator. These limits are known as the tropics of Capricorn and Cancer. The areas within these limits receive the most direct sunlight, the central area is the equator. Therefore, on average, the equator receives the most direct sunlight
