Line Scan Cameras Enable High Speed Inspection of Color Filters within Flat-Panel Display
The market of flat-panel displays (FPD) is a nearly $100 billion business that needs efficient automated optical inspection (AOI) to meet rising demand and remain cost effective. The color filters within the display represent a major inspection task, demanding both precision and speed. Inspection systems using high-speed, highresolution line scan cameras have proven themselves both equal to the present need and able to support panel...  Continue Reading..

The SUI 1024-LDM camera is a high-speed 1024-pixel linescan InGaAs camera for use in high-resolution imaging through silicon wafers, blocks or ingots.

Xenics' Manx SQ series offers line rates of 260 kHz for high speed and quality linescan imaging. With up to 2048 pixel resolution, excellent dynamic range, and the lowest noise performance record for a 2048 pixel SWIR line camera, this imager is ideal for silicon wafer inspection, TFT screen inspection, food and agricultural produce sorting, and other industrial applications.

The new LineCAM12 from Princeton Infrared Technologies is an InGaAs linescan camera designed to operate in the shortwave infrared (SWIR) and visible spectrum, from 0.4 to 1.7 µm. This camera utilizes a 1024 x 1 state of the art InGaAs linear array imager on 12.5μm pitch. It is currently available in a 250 mm tall pixel model for spectroscopy, and 12.5 mm square pixel model for machine vision applications.

Develop new multispectral imaging applications with PIXELTEQ’s micro-patterned filters. Patented technology enables micro-patterning of dielectric, metal, & RGB color filter array coatings on a single substrate – creating simplified optical devices with superior light management. 

Xenics’ line of Lynx SWIR Line-Scan Cameras feature excellent sensitivity and are ideal for applications involving spectroscopy, semiconductor inspection, OCT (optical coherence tomography), non-destructive testing, line scan imaging, food inspection, and non-contact thermography of hot objects. Two different configurations are available (CL and GigE) with varying pixel resolutions.

The VC2002L High Speed CMOS Line Scan Smart Camera can be used to control the laser scribing on thin-film solar cells. Thin silicon film coats a solar cell’s glass before being structured by a laser. The laser scribes conducting paths that run parallel and as close to each other as possible without touching. The camera acts as a monitoring system and checks P1, P2, and P3 scribes and with precision of 1 μm, controls the laser scribing. The sensor scans the laser line position at a 5 ms rate (thus providing 200 measurements per second.)

This High Speed CMOS camera has a scan rate of up to 11 kHz, making it ideal for high-speed code reading, high-speed decoding, and other high speed line scan applications. This model supports three separate integration modes: A free-running mode with 11 kHz, an external trigger with a constant 5.5 kHz integration time, or an external trigger with an 11 kHz variable integration time.

Sensors Unlimited – A part of Collins Aerospace's full suite of high resolution, near-infrared (NIR) and shortwave infrared (SWIR) linescan and area cameras have been designed to meet the needs of a many different markets, offering superior image quality.
