In portable electronic products, reducing the power consumption to provide the user with increased battery life is one of today’s critical design considerations. The liquid crystal display (LCD) and ...

The past few decades have seen astonishing advances in imaging technology, from high-speed optical sensors that process over two million frames per second to tiny lensless cameras that record images ...

Display screens are an essential component of many modern electronic devices, including smart phones, smart watches, laptops and tablets. Conventional displays—including liquid crystal displays and ...

In an advance at the intersection of neuromorphic engineering and photonics, researchers have developed an ionic-electronic photodetector that not only detects light but also performs in-sensor image ...

I want to add an analog ambient light detector to one of my electronics projects. To do that, I picked the TEMT6000 ambient light sensor. TEMT6000 is a silicon NPN epitaxial planar phototransistor in ...

The emergence of medical-grade wearable sensors promises to radically alter approaches to health care, with significant potential for reduced costs and improved patient outcomes 1,2,3,4,5. For ...

An overwhelming majority of handheld devices these days have ambient light sensors built into them. A large percentage of TVs and monitors do, too, and that proportion is growing. The sensors allow ...

This article details six essential sensors, along with four necessary questions a design engineer should ask before choosing which ones to use in their next design. In the R&D and electronics design ...

The ambient light sensors typically employed in smart devices for adjusting screen brightness could capture images of user interactions and could pose a unique privacy threat, according to researchers ...

For electrical engineers working in almost any part of the wired or wireless spectrum, the spectrum analyzer is a critical test and measurement tool. For optical engineering, the equivalent tool is ...
