TrendForce estimates that the infrared (IR) sensor modules for mobile devices global market will reach US$145 million in 2017, driven by the proliferation of high-end smartphones adopting 3D sensing technology. A 3D sensing solution comprises of an RGB camera module, infrared (IR) sensor technology that uses VCSEL (vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser) as a light source.
Several upcoming smartphones are expected to feature facial recognition capabilities based on 3D sensing technology, including Apple’s iPhone 8.
