Optical Sensors
Pixelligent high refractive index (RI) formulations and dispersions dramatically improve light capture and sensing capabilities in optical sensors.
Moving Optical Sensors from Vision to Precision
Today, high-resolution sensors power smartphones, XR devices, LiDAR systems, medical devices, autonomous vehicles, and many of the applications we interact with on a daily basis. The optical sensors (or photonics) industry is one of the fastest-growing technology sectors, driven by an increasing need for precision, connectivity, and ubiquity. Pixelligent products empower optical sensor manufacturers to deliver the leading optimal performance, efficiency, and reliability customers demand.

Enhance Light Capture and Optical Accuracy
With our tunable high RI formulations and dispersions, sensor manufacturers can improve the image capture and field of view (FoV) of the sensor’s light-emitting source. This dramatically improves throughput, optical accuracy, and enhanced sensor range. All of these benefits are delivered at significantly lower costs by replacing expensive and lower-yield lithography processes with lower-cost and higher-yield nanoimprint processes. Applications include:
Low Light Performance
Low Light Performance
Benefits that Optimize Sensor Technology
Pixelligent’s formulations and dispersions enable enhanced sensitivity, accuracy, and consistency, making them essential for optical sensor applications where reliability and precision are crucial.
