NEC: Uncooled Infrared Camera Module

NEC exhibited the HX3100LY050, an uncooled infrared camera module, at the 2008 Security Show held at Tokyo Big Sight. The module features NEC's proprietary high-sensitivity infrared sensor as well as their integrated image processing circuitry, making it both compact and lightweight. NEC's infrared camera module is capable of detecting the thermal characteristics of objects in locations where there is absolutely no light because it converts the invisible infrared light emitted by objects into images. Compared with existing infrared cameras, this camera doesn't require infrared reflectance light. Therefore, this device can be used for a variety of applications including security for intruder detection, disaster relief for searching for victims; and vision enhancement for use in aircraft, ships, and motor vehicles. The module is also appropriate for essential maintenance and security applications because it can use two-dimensional distribution to visualize the surface temperature of objects. Operators can use the camNEC and its affiliate NEC Avio Infrared Technologies plan to expand and strengthen their infrared camera business in the future.era module to remotely acquire temperature distribution data, without physically being placed in dangerous situations, for example in high voltage environments or very high places, or for monitoring objects that are extremely hot or that are rotating at extremely high velocities.
The camera module incorporates the HX3100, an uncooled infrared sensor featuring the world's smallest class pixel of 23.5 microns. The lightweight and compact camera module achieves a clear resolution of ６４０×４８０ pixels. EC and its affiliate NEC Avio Infrared Technologies plan to expand and strengthen their infrared camera business in the future.
