Thermal Sensor Having a Coupling Layer, and a Thermal Imaging System Including the Same

摘要

A thermal sensor includes a first semi-transparent electrode; a second electrode; a thermally sensitive element positioned between the first and second electrodes; and a coupling layer positioned between the first electrode and the thermally sensitive element, wherein the thermally sensitive element is in electrical communication with the first electrode via the coupling layer and is in electrical communication with the second electrode. An optional second coupling layer may be positioned between the second electrode and the thermally sensitive element, wherein the thermally sensitive element is in electrical communication with the second electrode via the second coupling layer.
