Publication number: 20220316951Abstract: An infrared temperature sensor comprises a thermopile sensor and an infrared reflector, wherein the infrared reflector reflects the infrared ray radiated by a target to a first thermopile sensing element of the thermopile sensor to sense the temperature of the target. By appropriately designing the reflecting surface of the infrared reflector, a horizontal viewing angle of a sensing range of the infrared temperature sensor can be larger, while a vertical viewing angle is smaller. The thermopile sensor further comprises a second thermopile sensing element, which can sense the thermal radiation of a package structure, whereby to compensate for the measurement error induced by the temperature variation of the package structure, which results from the variation of the environmental temperature. Thus, the measurement accuracy is increased.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 3, 2021Publication date: October 6, 2022Inventors: Ming LE, Jenping KU, Chein-Hsun WANG, Yu-Chih LIANG
