SENSOR CONFIGURED TO SENSE HEAT OR INFRARED LIGHT AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17851724 titled 'SENSOR CONFIGURED TO SENSE HEAT OR INFRARED LIGHT AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING SAME

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a sensor that can detect heat or infrared light. Here are the key points:

  • The sensor includes a substrate with recess portions and a cavity inside.
  • A lower reflective layer is placed on the bottom surface of the substrate.
  • Two electrodes are positioned inside the recess portions and face each other.
  • A pixel structure is embedded in the substrate to sense heat or infrared light.
  • A planarization layer covers the entire upper portion of the substrate.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Temperature sensing in industrial processes
  • Infrared imaging for security and surveillance
  • Thermal imaging in medical diagnostics
  • Heat detection in fire alarm systems

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Accurate and reliable detection of heat or infrared light
  • Integration of sensors into compact devices
  • Protection of sensitive components from external factors

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced sensitivity and precision in heat or infrared light detection
  • Compact and robust sensor design
  • Improved durability and reliability
  • Versatile applications in various industries.


Original Abstract Submitted

A sensor configured to sense heat or infrared light including a substrate includes a plurality of recess portions; a cavity inside the substrate along a bottom surface and opposing side surfaces of the substrate; a lower reflective layer disposed on at least one of an upper surface of the bottom surface of the substrate, a lower surface of the bottom surface of the substrate, and a surface opposite to the lower surface of the bottom surface of the substrate; a first electrode and a second electrode disposed inside both side surfaces of the recess portion and facing each other; a pixel structure configured to sense heat or infrared light inside the recess portion and embedded in the substrate; and a planarization layer covering the entire upper portion of the substrate.
