Description
The ALS-PT204-6C/L177 is consisting of a phototransistor in 3mm lamp. EVERLIGHT ALS series
products are good effective solution to the power saving of display backlighting of mobile
appliances, such as the mobile phones, NB and PDAs. Due to the high rejection ratio of infrared
radiation, the spectral response of the ambient light sensor is close to human eyes.
