The current infrared components, such as LEDs, lasers, etc., can be applied to lighting systems and navigation devices in daily life, and are widely used in the field, and can also be used in the terminal mobile phone 3D sensing module, thereby facilitating virtual reality, people. Face recognition and mobile payment related applications are possible.

In recent years, due to the gradual introduction of 3D sensing modules for medium and high-end mobile phone products, infrared components have become popular. The structure and principle of 3D sensing components are roughly used by more than two camera modules and infrared transmitting components. , to get the distance and shape of the object itself.

Further explore the global infrared component market, in addition to the traditional infrared lighting system, there are infrared laser systems (VCSEL and automotive LiDAR). Due to the use of LED components, the traditional infrared illumination system has weak illuminating energy and large beam angle, which makes the overall functionality insufficient. Most of them can only be applied to 2D face recognition and general security monitoring.

In the infrared laser part, due to the characteristics of large light source energy and angle concentration, it has been widely used in 3D sensing technology and vehicle ranging.

In response to the development of the global infrared component market, the overall market demand continues to flourish in both infrared lighting and laser product applications.

The overall market size estimate for 2019 is expected to exceed $1.64 billion, and as mobile 3D sensing components are gradually fermented, the overall size will gradually grow to approximately $2.2 billion in 2020.
