Epolin NIR Light Management Formulations Protect Passengers from the Distracting Red-Glow Created by Driver Monitoring and Assistance Systems
In-vehicle Advanced Driver Assistance systems are designed to monitor driver alertness and provide occupant sensing for safety applications in Vehicles. These systems use Near Infrared (NIR) LEDs to illuminate and detect objects via directed or flood lighting of the cabin. To increase the performance and capability of these systems, they increasingly rely on Visible and […]

Managing Near Infrared (NIR) Light Using Visible Opaque Materials
NIR illumination and detection electronics often incorporate a protective cover or lens that appears black or visibly opaque. The black cover on the end of a TV remote or a dome around a night vision security camera are examples of visible opaque, NIR transmitting materials. They obscure electronics and reduce heat from Solar’s visual spectrum while efficiently transmitting NIR portion of light. They also expand design options and minimize the appearance of welds created by NIR lasers in part joining operations.
