Dublin, Feb. 19, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/kgvchs/flir_systems_flir) has announced the addition of the "FLIR Systems FLIR ONE Consumer Thermal Imager with LEPTON Microbolometer -Reverse Costing Analysis" report to their offering.
Initially focused on the military market, uncooled thermal camera sales have grown significantly due to the substantial cost reduction of microbolometers and growing adoption in commercial markets. Plugged into the back of an IPhone 5 or 5S, the FLIR ONE is the first consumer thermal camera featuring Long Wave Infrared (LWIR) technology.
The thermal camera uses a new core, LEPTON, featuring a 80×60 pixels resolution with pixel size of 17µm. Thanks to its strong integration at the core level with innovative wafer-level optics (WLO), wafer-level packaging (WLP) and custom ASIC use, this is the world's smallest microbolometer-based thermal imaging camera core.
Based on complete teardown analyses of the FLIR ONE and the LEPTON core, the reports provide the bill-of-material (BOM) and the manufacturing cost of the infrared camera as well as a complete physical analysis and manufacturing cost estimation of the infrared module.
