Sensors combine superior spectral response with temperature range stability and curves that match those of the human eye.

Sharp ambient light sensors available from APC-Hero allow stable light measurements at varying temperatures Sharp's breakthrough design in ambient light sensors means stable light measurements at varying temperatures are now possible

This range of optical IC (OPIC) sensors combines superior spectral response with temperature range stability and curves that match those of the human eye.

The resulting linear output measurement is that naturally expected in any lighting condition, and so minimum engineering time is spent on compensation circuitry.

The range includes packages as small as 1.6 x 2.0mm.

When teamed with APC-Hero's wide selection of LED backlight controllers, these new products provide a power-saving solution that fits into a tiny space and offers automatic control of backlight brightness without user intervention.

Applications include auto-brightness controls for mobile, fixed and handheld devices such as: battery operated TFT displays, control panels, information displays, mobile phones, TFT monitors and cameras.
