120x90 / 17μm Micro Infrared Thermal Camera Core for Smart Home, Intelligent Building

TIMO120 infrared thermal module integrates 120x90 / 17μm wafer level package (WLP) infrared detector and is oriented for applications of optimized size, weight, power, cost (SWaP-C). Its super miniature structure is easy to be integrated into various smart devices, thermal imagers or mobile terminals with strict requirements on cost, size and weight.

Compared with traditional temperature measuring tools, the TIMO120 IR sensor module has greater sensitivity than the common thermopile arrays during the epidemic prevention. Also by using wafer level packaging, TIMO120 thermal sensor camera module is more affordable in the infrared imaging applications that need strict requirements on cost, size and weight.

Thanks to the WLP technology, TIMO series uncooled thermal module is preferred in the emerging markets like consumer electronics. It’s easier for TIMO thermal imaging module to be integrated into more terminal products and shorten secondary development time of customers.

The TIMO120 thermal camera module is widely used in many areas, such as Thermography, Intelligent Hardware, Smart Building, Smart Home, AIoT etc.

1. What is infrared thermal imaging?

In nature, all objects whose temperature is higher than absolute zero (- 273 ℃) can radiate infrared rays. By using the infrared camera detector to measure the infrared radiation temperature difference between the target itself and the background, you can get different infrared images, which are also called thermal images.

2. How do infrared detectors work?

Infrared radiation that emitted by target enters the sensing range of the thermal detector, then the infrared detector converts the radiation signal of different intensity into the corresponding electrical signal, and then through amplification and video processing, forms the infrared image that can be observed by the naked eyes.

3. What's the advantage of uncooled infrared detector?
Uncooled infrared focal plane detector does not need an Integrated Dewar Cooler Assembly (IDCA) device and can work at room temperature. It has the advantages of fast start, low power consumption, small size, light weight, long life, low cost and so on. Although the sensitivity of uncooled infrared focal plane detector is not as good as that of cooled infrared detectors, after years of development, its cost performance has been obviously better than the cooled detector, which has a broader application prospect.
