Edge Foundry Unveils 'Thermo K' Based on Uncooled IR Sensor

Edge Foundry, a company specializing in sensors, announced on August 11 that it will hold a 'New Product Launch Event' on August 14 at COEX in Gangnam, Seoul, where it will officially unveil 'Thermo K,' an uncooled thermal imaging camera module based on its self-developed QVGA IR sensor.

'Thermo K' is a name that combines 'Thermo' from thermal imaging technology and 'K' for Korea, reflecting pride in being an uncooled thermal imaging solution developed entirely with domestic technology. Until now, most high-performance thermal imaging cameras have been based on cooled sensors, resulting in high costs and large sizes. However, Edge Foundry has succeeded in achieving both performance and affordability with its uncooled structure. As a result, the company expects this to popularize and expand the market for thermal imaging technology across various sectors, including industry, defense, safety, and healthcare.

At the event, a demonstration booth will be set up where attendees can directly experience the actual operating performance of 'Thermo K.' Participants will be able to test the product's response speed, resolution, and long-term operational stability in various environments, while Edge Foundry researchers will explain the development process and key features in person.

Industry insiders predict that the launch of 'Thermo K' will be a game changer, enabling domestically produced uncooled IR sensors to compete in the global market.

An Edge Foundry representative stated, "This new product is the result of long-term research, achieving both localization and price competitiveness," and added, "With this launch event, we plan to expand cooperation with domestic and international partners and rapidly increase our market share."

The Edge Foundry New Product Launch Event will be held on August 14 at Samsung COEX, and further details can be obtained through the Edge Foundry event secretariat.
