TAOS announced new digital color RGB and proximity sensors (the TCS3x71 and TCS3x72) - which are especially aimed to be used in phones with OLED displays. The company says this is the world's first color sensor with an IR blocking filter integrated directly on-chip and localized only to the color sensor photodiodes.
TAOS says that having a combined color and proximity sensor can be used to determine the color temperature of the ambient light and then provide the optimum display picture quality and to provide touchscreen control. These devices can also be used to create smarter products, such as household appliances, which sense color and user presence.
