The lenses are still wafer-level silicon optics but area has been enhanced thanks to hexagonal shapes compared to square shapes previously. On the optical module side, strong efforts have been made to improve lenses resulting in a wider field of view (FOV).

This new pixel size has been accompanied by new processes for the ROIC, the microbolometer and the wafer-level window with new technology node, new pixel integration with the ROIC and a simplified window which no longer needs an SOI wafer… This achievement has been made possible by the reduction of the pixel size, from 17µm to 12µm in the Lepton 3. Despite this improvement, it consumes slightly the same power with 160mW versus 150mW. The new Lepton 3 LWIR camera core shares almost the same dimensions than the previous Lepton core but offers a four times improved resolution of 160x120 pixels (versus 80圆0 pixel for the Lepton 2).

The major achievement for FLIR has been to propose, in the same module size, a 4x improved resolution and a better FOV without consuming more power and at a lower cost!īased on a complete teardown analysis of the new FLIR One for Android and iOS, the report provides a complete physical analysis and manufacturing cost estimation of the infrared camera and the Lepton infrared module as well as the technical choices made for this new generation. Second Generation FLIR ONE for Smartphones Featuring a Completely New LEPTON Core with 160x120 Pixels Resolution and 12µm Pixel SizeĪfter the world’s first consumer thermal camera (FLIR One) in 2014, FLIR just released the second generation of the FLIR One featuring a completely new design and an upgraded Lepton core.
