TCS3530 True Color Sensor

ams OSRAM's TCS3530 is an ultra-sensitive color sensor that matches the response of the human eye to visible light. The sensor’s XYZ light measurements are converted in the chip to chromaticity coordinates precisely located in CiE color space. This enables ultra-accurate automatic white balancing in cameras, resulting in a natural rendition of object colors in all conditions including images captured under distorting light sources (such as fluorescent lamps or LEDs), and images dominated by large blocks of non-white color.

When TCS3530 is applied to displays, monitors, and televisions, it enables superior sensing. Algorithms can use the sensor’s outputs to adjust the display’s whitepoint to match the ambient light whitepoint, resulting in more accurate and pleasing color rendering and perceived picture quality.

The fully integrated optical assembly includes a built-in-diffuser, backed by end-of-line calibration, simplifying manufacturers’ production processes and optical designs.
