About GST417W Uncooled Infrared Detector
LWIR 400x300 / 17μm VOx Uncooled Infrared Detector, FPA
Microbolometer for Thermal Camera Module
Product Description
GST417W is one of the Wafer Level Packing (WLP) VOx uncooled focal
plane array detectors developed by Global Sensor Technology (GST).
Its resolution is 400x300 with pixel size at 17μm.
Wafer level packaging (WLP) is a kind of smallest size of low cost
packaging. It is the process of completing high vacuum packaging
directly on the entire MEMS wafer, then scribing and cutting to
make a single infrared detector. From its manufacturing, packaging
and delivery to the customer, the entire process is greatly reduced
and the cycle is much shorter, which will cause lower costs.
GST417W uncooled LWIR Infrared sensor is widely used in almost all
popular applications such as thermography, security monitoring,
firefighting, autonomous driving, personal vision etc.

FAQs
1. What is the difference between uncooled and cooled IR detectors?
There are currently two types of infrared thermal imaging sensors
on the market, cooled and uncooled.
Uncooled IR detector operates at ambient temperature. It is based
on semi-conductor industry and thus usually can be fabricated in
big volume with small size and low cost. Uncooled IR detectors are
widely used in portable/handheld/mobile devices.
Cooled IR detectors are packaged in a unit that keeps them at an
extremely low temperature which shall be supported by a cryo
cooler. They are much bigger, more expensive and less reliable than
uncooled sensors, mainly due to the complex cooling systems they
require. However, the cooled systems are incredibly sensitive and
usually work with long focal length optics to achieve long range
mission.
