Title :
Color thermometry of electronic devices
Abstract :
A novel method for obtaining dynamic, real time, high spatial resolution temperature distribution over surfaces of electronic components is presented. The thermometric medium is a liquid crystalline coating deposited on the devices to be measured. It scatters incident white light into bright colors in response to the temperature of the device. Each scattered color uniquely represents a temperature. The response is in milliseconds. The process is reversible and has high spatial resolution over any size area.
