Enhance Light Capture and Optical Accuracy
With our tunable high-refractive-index (RI) formulations and dispersions, sensor manufacturers can enhance image capture and expand the field-of-view (FoV) of the sensor’s light-emitting source. This results in dramatically improved throughput, optical accuracy, and sensor range. These benefits are achieved at significantly lower costs by replacing expensive, low-yield lithography processes with more efficient, higher-yield nanoimprint processes. Applications include:
Low Light Performance
Low Light Performance
Benefits that Optimize Sensor Technology
Pixelligent’s formulations and dispersions enhance sensitivity, accuracy, and consistency, making them essential for optical sensor applications where reliability and precision are critical.
