From the market trend, mobile phone camera or 3D sensing technology will be more widely used, CK Chua, marketing director of 3S solutions and device product line in Greater China, said that ams' 3D sensing technology is in structured light, stereo vision and The flight time solution is involved. The ams technology is mainly used in the optical design of the overall solution, including VCSEL (vertical transmitter) or optical components based on WLO. The products are mainly used in consumer electronics, automotive, industrial or medical. field. Ams' technology is at the forefront, especially in optical and system design, ams has advantages and technical reserves in hardware and algorithms; in IR cameras, drives, assembly and applications, it tends to find eco-partners; in industry, Help achieve automated production, automated warehouse management, and more.
Application of 3D sensing technology in smart cars
Smart cars are a big trend in the future. Ams' smart car solutions include high-performance laser radar and driver identification solutions, which give drivers a great driving experience. Based on advanced 3D sensing technology, ams has developed a 3D sensing-based driver certification and monitoring system based on the upstream and downstream cooperation of the industry chain. Anmin Jin, director of market applications and business development for the automotive division of Ams Greater China, said that future anti-off detection will also be used for driver condition monitoring. Adding a capacitive sensor to the steering wheel, holding the steering wheel and holding the steering wheel, the instrument exhibits different capacitance values. The change in capacitance detected by the capacitive sensor determines whether the driver's hand is holding the steering wheel. This is a very effective means for ensuring driving safety, and the monitoring of the driver's vital signs can be integrated on the steering wheel.

Pure solid-state laser radar will be the mainstream form of future radar, and the commercial use of pure solid-state laser radar is inseparable from the key technology addressable VCSEL array and the corresponding drive technology. Ams successfully developed the technology in the VCSEL field through acquisitions and years of technical accumulation. In the future, the ams addressable VCSEL array will be used to implement a pure solid-state Lidar system to power future cars. Projection lighting is also a very important aspect of ams in the automotive field. With the micro lens array (MLA) projection technology developed by ams, car manufacturers can achieve compact and small-sized projection illumination, which can project bright and clear images on the road surface, such as Steering warnings, welcome lights, etc. are typical applications of this technology.
Application of 3D sensing technology in medical imaging
Sensors have made tremendous advances in medical treatment. Ams' sensor and sensor interfaces offer excellent accuracy, high sampling rates, low noise and high linearity, enabling medical devices to deliver more accurate images. Zorro Huang, senior manager of product management and marketing for ams medical and special sensors, said that in the medical imaging industry, both big data and artificial intelligence are based on a reliable and structured image data base. Ams provides medical imaging equipment. The underlying sensor or sensor combined product.

Ams' new generation of detector solutions helps CT equipment manufacturers achieve two goals: reducing X-ray dose while generating motion-free CT images. Taking the AS5900 of ams as an example, the AS5900 is a 26-bit, 128-channel current-input analog-to-digital converter for photodiode arrays with world-class performance in terms of noise, resolution, linearity, speed and power consumption. In addition, the excellent analog performance of the AS5900 will enable the new CT scanner to present clearer, more detailed images. A medical CT scanner with the AS5900 can help doctors make more accurate diagnoses while reducing radiation to the patient.
