Market Leaders and their expansionary development strategies
In July 2020, ams, a leading worldwide supplier of high performance sensor solutions, today launched the world’s smallest integrated ambient light sensor (ALS) and proximity detection module, enabling mobile handset OEM’s serving the mid-range market segment to develop mobile devices with virtually bezel-less displays.
In September 2019, ams, a leading worldwide supplier of high performance sensor solutions, launched the world’s smallest digital proximity sensor module. The ultra-small package of the TMD2635 occupies just 1mm3 of volume and enables audio manufacturers of True Wireless Stereo (TWS) earbud products to develop smaller, lighter industrial design earbuds. The IR proximity sensor enables wireless earbud in-and-out of ear detection to help extend battery life between chargings and can be used in tandem with another TMD2635 to enable elementary touchless gesture control without the need for buttons.
