Technology:
NEC developed a
small infrared image sensor that can be used for the infrared camera. The newly
developed infrared image sensor has volume one tenth of the existing product.
Should it be employed for an infrared camera, the lens can be made smaller to
one quarter of the lens currently used. It helps miniaturize the body of the
infrared camera and expand the fields of application of the infrared camera. The
company will start to mass produce the new product in 2013.
Using the approach
to the microelectronic machine system (MEMS), the company developed a
technology to increase the density of the image element to detect infrared by
about four times. The miniaturized infrared image sensor made it possible to
simplify the case for maintaining vacuum, reducing the volume to one tenth of
the existing product. At the same time, an improved production method will
reduce the price to less than one third of the existing product to
200,000-300,000 yen apiece. Please click here for further details in Japanese.
