ThermaCore
OEM Uncooled LWIR
Thermal Imaging Core
The ThermaCore longwave infrared (LWIR) thermal core is based on an a-Si uncooled microbolometer detector. Its shutterless design makes it optimized for a wide range of SWaP applications. ThermaCore uses a new infrared video processing architecture to enable advanced image processing, video analytics and several industry-standard communication interfaces while keeping power consumption low. The core is ready for simple integration with various types of OLED microdisplays.
