Kopin® Corporation recently launched a new family of complete plug-and-play eyepiece products for thermal imaging applications at the Defense, Security, and Sensing 2010 Symposium in Orlando, Fla. Kopin introduced standard and custom eyepiece solutions based upon the new CyberDisplay® 640M LVR microdisplay, an ultra-low-power active matrix liquid crystal display (AMLCD) with … [Read more...]
Measuring chip temperatures with thermochromic liquid crystals
Introduction Measurement of the temperature distribution of an operating electroniccomponent, including its junction and case temperatures, is necessary tocompletely characterize the thermal and electrical performance of today's highpower density electronic components. As part of the characterization process,thermal designers must be able to predict and verify the … [Read more...]
Making surface temperature measurements using liquid crystal thermography
Introduction The development of liquid crystal (LC) based thermography overthe past 30 years has provided thermal engineers with a relatively inexpensivetechnique for visualizing and measuring surface temperature. Engineers andscientists have successfully used LC thermography to investigate various thermalphenomena in a wide variety of applications. These applications … [Read more...]
