FAQ:

What is the difference between a digital ambient light sensor and a photointensity detection sensor? (Can the brightness of the computer monitor be measured?) )

  • Illuminance:refers to how much light I get somewhere, and his unit of measurement is lux.
  • Brightness: The brightness of the recognition seen by the human eye. The unit of measurement is candela per square meter (cd/㎡).
  • Illuminance and brightness, one refers to how much light is obtained per unit area, and the other refers to how bright it looks per unit area.
  • Brightness is related to reflectivity, and the reflectivity of the palm of the hand is not the same, resulting in the difference between brightness and darkness.
  • So the output of the digital ambient light sensor is the amount of light; The light source can be: incandescent lamp, fluorescent lamp, halogen lamp, white LED, sunlight,
  • The output of the photosensitive intensity detection sensor is the analog value of the brightness of the light; It can be divided into ultraviolet photoresistors, infrared photoresistors, visible photoresistors, here our sensor is visible light photointensity detection sensor
