TIMO256 Thermal Camera Core
Light Weight LWIR Uncooled Thermal Imaging Core with 256x192
Resolution, 12μm Pixel Size
Product Description
TIMO256 uncooled IR imaging module, also known as the uncooled
thermal module, is one of the TIMO infrared camera module family
developed by Global Sensor Technology (GST). It includes an
exceptionally small size 256x192 / 12μm wafer level package (WLP)
infrared detector that covers long wavelength from 8 to 14 microns.
Thanks to the WLP technology, the TIMO256 thermal IR camera module
achieves super micro structure, ultra low cost expenditure while
offers greater sensitivity and superior image quality at an
affordable price, enabling the customer to choose the most suitable
type according to their own requirements.
Due to its fully optimized structure, TIMO256 thermal camera core
is popular and widely used in infrared thermal imaging applications
such as Thermography, Epidemic Prevention, Smart Hardware, AIoT
etc.

FAQs
1. Thermal Image Vs. Visual Image
Visible light is an electromagnetic wave that can be seen by
humans. Its wavelength range generally falls between 360-400
nm~760-830nm. This electromagnetic spectrum is also called the
visible spectrum, and its frequency range is 830-750THz~395-360THz.
Infrared is an electromagnetic wave with a wavelength between
microwave and visible light. Its wavelength is between 760
nanometers (nm) and 1 millimeter (mm). It is an invisible light
with a wavelength longer than red light. The frequencies are
approximately in the range of 430 THz to 300 GHz.
2. Detector of Thermal Image & Visual Image
For the core detectors of imaging device, visible light devices use
the CCD and CMOS detector, while thermal imaging uses cooled and
uncooled detector. The main difference is that visible light
CCD/CMOS can perceive light waves in the visible light band, and
thermal imaging detectors can sense thermal radiation light waves
in the infrared band. Infrared thermal imaging detectors are
divided into many types according to different manufacturing
processes and packaging materials. The more macroscopic feeling is
that infrared thermal imaging detectors are more expensive than
visible light CCDs.
