Infrared detection technology can bring a lot of value for users, such as food/drug ingredients, even the authenticity of a jewelry, all escape however the watchful eye of the technology, and as long as a few seconds to learn that the results of the analysis. Therefore, semiconductor factory very bullish on the development of the technology in the mobile application potential, is actively overcome bottlenecks in the technology and application.

The spectrum detection can under the premise of without destroying the sample to detect the material composition of the object under test, therefore the spectrometer has been one of the essential equipment for many material analysis laboratory. However, traditional spectral detector to as much as possible to get the material from a greater range of wavelength infrared wavelength characteristics, so the machine system design is relatively complex, equipment size is difficult to narrow.

According to the above problem, Texas instruments (TI) has been using the invention of the digital light processing (DLP) significantly improved the light of the spectrometer machine design, make the spectrometer can put in my pocket a small instrument, the cost is greatly reduced. Another analogy to the chip giant's (ADI) wants further, spectrum detection function to become can be integrated into mobile phones and other mobile devices in the subminiature hardware module.
