/ LWIR SENSOR WITH CAPACITIVE MICROBOLOMETER AND HYBRID VISIBLE/LWIR SENSOR

摘要

A pixel for an image sensor of the present disclosure may include a microbolometer sensor unit, a visible image sensor unit, and an output path. The microbolometer sensor unit outputs a signal corresponding to the infrared image sensed by the microbolometer sensor unit. The visible image sensor unit outputs a signal corresponding to the visible image sensed by the visible image sensor unit. The output path is shared by the microbolometer sensor unit and the visible image sensor unit. The output path may be controlled to selectively output a signal corresponding to an infrared image or a signal corresponding to a visible image.
