Abstract
An infrared detecting device includes: an infrared sensor that has one or more infrared detection elements arranged in one or more columns; and an IC chip that performs signal processing on a signal output from the infrared sensor. The infrared sensor and the IC chip are generally juxtaposed in a direction along a scan rotation axis of the infrared sensor.
Claims7
An infrared detecting device comprising:
- an infrared sensor that has two or more infrared detection elements arranged in two or more columns;
- and
- an integrated circuit (IC) chip that performs signal processing on a signal output from the infrared sensor,
- wherein a position of a first infrared detection element in a first column in the two or more columns is offset from a second infrared detection element in a second column which is a column adjacent to the first column by 1/n of a dimension of a vertical edge of the second infrared detection element in the second column, the vertical edge being generally orthogonal to a bottom surface,
- wherein n is an integer equal to or larger than two, and
- wherein the infrared sensor and the IC chip are generally juxtaposed in a direction along a scan rotation axis of the infrared sensor.
