OSLON® P1616

SFH 4171SSFH 4181S

Technology Leadership in Infrared LED Technology

In the world of tomorrow, the key to your identity could quite literally be in the palm of your hand. With personal authentication becoming an essential requirement for a wide variety of purposes, such as mobile electronics, many systems now rely on biometric features to identify authorized users.

Osram Opto Semiconductors is helping to ensure these systems reach the highest level of reliability and security, to make sure the most important things in your life are as safe as they can be.

Biometric identification makes use of unique human characteristics, including facial features, finger prints, or the network of veins in the palm. The technology offers a safe and convenient alternative to managing complex passwords.

Osram Opto Semiconductors supplies special infrared LEDs for biometric recognition systems. These LEDs are used to illuminate the target area, enabling the systems to achieve high quality images, and ensuring reliable identification.

The newest addition to the portfolio are the OSLON P1616 devices that come with integrated optics – SFH 4171S and SFH 4181S – with a brilliant package-to-power ratio and the smallest package of only 1.6x 1.6x 1.7 mm³ making the devices ideal for space critical application, e.g. user authentication for mobile devices such as laptops or smart doorbells.
