Liquid Crystal Thermography System
The Advanced Thermal Solutions ethermVIEW is a high-resolution liquid crystal thermography system for cost-effective temperature measurement of electronic circuit boards, micro circuits, hybrids, components, and integrated circuits. The ethermVIEW uses the color response of Thermochromic Liquid Crystals (TLC) for the purpose of temperature measurement. Liquid crystals reflect incident light at the visible wavelength based on the temperature of the surface to which they are applied.
