Light Sensing: Seeing Beyond the Human Eye (Download)

Read this article online.

Light sensors detect the presence or absence of light, and the intensity of that light. These sensors then convert light energy into an electrical signal, which can be analyzed or lead to further action. 

Industry-changing sensor solutions are enabling electronics to see beyond the capabilities of the human eye. They increase the safety and efficiency in automotive, industrial, and personal electronics applications, ranging from controlling the brightness of display screens to alerting security systems of a possible intrusion. Such solutions ultimately enhance user experience, optimize power usage, and enable automation in both consumer and industrial applications.
