Integrating an optical touch switch in their compact, surface-mount packages, the SFH7740 and SFH7741 proximity sensors use distance measurements to detect a mobile device’s operating ...

The sensor module offers an adjustable detection range of 1 to 15 mm. This adjustability, managed via the I2C interface, allows designers to fine-tune the sensor's proximity detection.

APDS-9120 is an integrated optical proximity sensor that combines built-in signal conditioning and space-saving packaging technology. This optical proximity sensor provides ease of implementation as ...

San Jose, Calif.—Avago Technologies has developed an ultra-thin integrated optical proximity sensor for use in a wide range of portable consumer electronic devices, and personal computers. Avago's ...

Elliptic Labs has found a way to replace a staple of smartphones — the hardware optical proximity sensor — with an ultrasound software solution. Proximity sensors are a key component that turn ...

Optical proximity sensors can be found in most smartphones and they perform a number of functions. For example, the sensors turn off the screen when you’re taking a call, ...

When you make a phone call, there's a reason your ear doesn't press all the on-screen buttons. The optical sensor near the earpiece is that reason. Thing is, the sensor needs an opening to see if ...

Osram Opto Semiconductors of Germany has unveiled two optical proximity sensors that it says will help to prolong the battery lifetime in devices such as mobile phones and digital cameras. The SFH7740 ...
