What is LDR Sensor?
What is LDR Sensor ? Ldr sensor is a special resistor made of semiconductor materials such as sulfide or selenide barrier. It is also coated with moisture-proof resin and has photoconductive effect. Characteristics of LDR Photocell Ldr sensor is very sensitive to light. The stronger the light, the lower the resistance. With the increase of illumination intensity, the resistance value decreases rapidly, which can be reduced to less than 1KΩ. Working Principle of LDR Photocell The working principle of ldr photoresistor is based on the internal photoelectric effect, that is, the semiconductor photosensitive material is encapsulated in the shell with transparent window by installing electrode leads at both ends to form an ldr sensor. In order to increase sensitivity, the two electrodes are usually in the comb shape. Application of LDR photocell 1. The ldr photocell module is most sensitive to the ambient light intensity, which is generally used to detect th...
