MEMS Micro Electromechanical Development D6T Miniature Infrared Thermal Sensor

The reason why smart phones are popular with everyone is inseparable from the entertainment functions they have, making it not only a tool for talking. Smartphones support so many entertainment applications. In the final analysis, they integrate various types of sensors, such as gravity sensors, acceleration sensors, gyroscopes, electronic compasses, and light distance sensors.

At the Exhibition Micromachine in Japan, Omron exhibited the D6T miniature infrared thermal sensor developed with MEMS MEMS technology. It can be used directly on a mobile phone and installed under the camera. The detected heat information is displayed to the user through the screen in combination with the image captured by the camera. And in sensor-specific mobile applications, there is a "Too hot to eat" function, if the food temperature is too high, it will advise the user not to eat. This way you can know if the temperature of a cup of coffee is too high.

It is located near the handset. When we are answering or making a call, we measure the distance between the ear and the handset and let the screen display automatically turn on and off. This saves battery power.

This sensor can also be applied in other fields. For example, security, as long as someone passes, its temperature will be detected to remind security personnel. The ability to detect if someone is there is naturally able to detect if there is no one, such as a particular location, and if the thermal sensor detects that no one is present, it notifies the system to turn off the air conditioning automatically to save energy.
