Spectral Sensitivity of Amorphous Photosensor
High Sensitivity detection within
the visible-light spectrum
Human eyes are sensitive to the light
wavelength ranging from approximately
400nm to 700nm.
Amorphous photosensors have sensitivity in
the same range and provide light sensing
capability similar to human eyes.
Illuminance [lux]
Dependence of Isc Characteristics on Illumination
Output current is proportional to
illumination
Accurate light detection is possible because
output current increases proportionally to the
illuminance.
Amorphous Photosensor Pattern
Shape Example
Flexibility in pattern shaping or
sizing
Amorphous photosensors provide flexible
designing in size and shape to fit your needs.
