Color Sensor For Mobile Devices

The ams AG TCS34901 color sensor for portable devices targets light source detection for operation under a wide range of light sources and enables sophisticated display management and brightness control. The light to digital sensor has five-channels for extremely accurate measurements of the Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) of light. In addition to the red, green and blue (RGB) color sensor channels, the fourth channel is a dedicated infra-red (IR) measurement channel for the reliable detection of the IR signature of ambient light sources. The fifth IR channel is sensitive to IR light in the spectrum 700nm – 1,100nm that provides the ability to reliably detect the light source and enables the white-balancing settings in a camera’s or smartphone’s flash to be optimized for improved picture quality For more information, click here.
