Infrared Position Sensitive Detector (IRPSD)
IRPSD is a new array infrared sensor that enables us to obtain the position, motion, and area of hot objects without digital signal processors. These functions are performed by pixels having two thermometers and serial connection in row and column.
An infrared array sensor, which is capable of positional specification and
flow tracking of an object to be detected without performing image processing, and whose cost is low. An infrared array sensor where pixels, each having a thermal infrared detector whose electric properties change in accordance with incidence of infrared rays, are arrayed in two-dimensional matrix form. The infrared array sensor includes: a row output take-out means configured so as to take out an electric signal to the outside as an output, the electric signal being in accordance with electric properties as a sum of electric properties respectively shown by the thermal infrared detectors on each row; and a column output take-out means configured so as to take out an electric signal to the outside as an output, the electric signal being in accordance with electric properties as a sum of electric properties respectively shown by the thermal infrared detectors on each column.
