    摘要: A two-dimensional infrared focal plane array of temperature detecting units is provided with the temperature detecting units being arranged for every pixel in a two-dimensional arrangement on a semiconductor substrate. Each temperature detecting unit is formed integrally with readout circuitry. Each temperature detecting unit further has a temperature detecting portion which is supported by support legs made of a high thermal resistance material to reduce heat flow to the semiconductor substrate. Each temperature detecting unit also has a temperature detecting element with an infrared ray absorbing portion which is spliced by at least one splicing pillar with the temperature detecting element.

    摘要: An infrared sensor includes a substrate, an insulator layer formed on the substrate, and a heat-sensitive semiconductor layer having a temperature dependent electrical resistance with a relatively large temperature coefficient of resistance. In order to improve sensitivity of the heat-sensitive semiconductor layer for detecting infrared rays, high concentration impurity semiconductor regions are positioned on either side of the semiconductor layer to form a semiconductor section. The high concentration impurity semiconductor sections have a higher absorption coefficient of infrared rays than the semiconductor layer. Thus, the semiconductor section itself both detects and absorbs infrared rays with or without providing any heat-absorbing layer. Further, electrodes are connected to each high-concentration impurity layer, which form an ohmic contact therewith.

    摘要: An infrared sensor includes a first infrared sensing element separated by a dielectric layer from on a silicon substrate and thermally isolated from the substrate by a void in the dielectric layer. The sensor has a second temperature sensing element which detects the temperature of the whole sensor. The output difference between the first and second sensor elements is used as gate/source voltage of a MOSFET. The current variation of the MOSFET is read out as a discharge from a capacitor connected to the MOSFET. The noise in the sensor is suppressed, and performance is improved. An infrared sensor array includes the sensors arranged in an array.

    摘要: An electronic device (200) includes a display (202) and an LC shutter (204), at least a portion of which is operatively positioned over the display (202). The LC shutter (204) provides switching between a transparent state and a diffusive state with high image integrity, and high transmission in the transparent state. In one embodiment, the electronic device (200) further includes control logic (206) operatively coupled to the LC shutter (204) to provide control signals (212) to the LC shutter (204) to effect the transparent state. The LC shutter (204) includes a first dichroic polarizer (300), such as a broadband dichroic polarizer, an LC cell (304), and a diffusive reflective polarizer (307). The LC cell (304) is interposed between the first dichroic polarizer (300) and the diffusive reflective polarizer (307). Related methods are also set forth.
