Highly sensitive colour sensor

12 September 2018 Opto-Electronics

ams announced the release of a new XYZ ‘tri-stimulus’ colour sensor – the AS73211 – which provides enhanced optical characteristics because of its filter-on-glass technology. It offers light and colour measurements closely matching a typical human eye’s perception of light. The sensor measures colour accurately at light levels from 0,4 lux up to 208 klux – a wide dynamic range of 250 000 000:1, enabling effective operation in widely varying lighting conditions, from moonlight to bright sunshine. The high sensitivity of the AS73211 makes it particularly suitable for precise measurements of dark objects and materials, such as black pixels on a display screen, dark skin, black paint or soil, even in low-light conditions.
