ams and Osram launch OSLON™ Black IR:6 C series for in-cabin sensing applications

On May 20, ams-Osram announced the launch of OSLON™ Black IR:6 C series high-power infrared emitters, which are mainly targeted at in-Cabin Sensing applications, covering scenarios such as driving monitoring, occupant monitoring and child legacy detection.

ams Osram stated that as the level of automobile intelligence increases, the application scope of in-vehicle sensing systems is expanding, and related technologies are gradually extending from the perception of the external environment to the interior space. In-cabin sensing usually uses a combination of sensors and algorithms to identify and analyze the status and behavior of people in the vehicle to support driver monitoring and occupant safety-related functions.

ams Osram high power 940nm OSLON Black™ IR LEDs will support this application. Designed specifically for camera-based in-cabin sensing systems, this product provides low-interference infrared lighting effects by reducing visible red light phenomena and is optimized for driving monitoring and occupant monitoring applications.

According to reports, the in-cabin monitoring system can be used to identify driver distraction or fatigue, occupant presence, and objects or people left behind in the rear row to help improve vehicle safety.

In terms of technical implementation, infrared lighting provides basic conditions for image sensing. The in-cabin sensing system based on image sensing requires stable and uniform infrared lighting to accurately capture information without affecting the passenger experience. The ams-OSRAM high-power infrared LED product portfolio is designed for this requirement.

According to reports, OSLON™ Black IR:6 series infrared LEDs can stably identify key information such as facial features and gaze direction, and can maintain stable performance even in low light sources or environments with rapid changes in light. By specifically reducing the visible red light phenomenon in the 940nm band, infrared light sources in the car are almost invisible. This feature can improve user acceptance and ride comfort in night driving situations.

In addition, in in-cabin sensing applications, low visible light interference is considered to be one of the factors that improves the system experience. If visible red light generated by infrared light sources appears in the cabin, it will easily cause interference to the occupants. ams Osram reduces this effect from the chip level and overcomes technical challenges from the source to ensure the stable operation of the in-cabin sensing system while avoiding distracting the attention of the driver and passengers.

In addition to supporting existing applications such as driving monitoring, occupant monitoring, and stranded child detection, this infrared LED is also suitable for future application scenarios such as medical emergency detection, cognitive status monitoring, and drunk driving and abnormal behavior detection. In addition, the OSLON™ Black IR:6 C series (Model: OSLON™ Black SFH 472XXCS A01) provides a variety of emission angles and optical configurations, providing designers with greater design flexibility.
