LuxSense

LuxSense is a technology company that designs and manufactures optical sensing solutions for consumer electronics, automotive, and industrial markets. The company specializes in light and color sensing, proximity sensing, and spectroscopic modules, with an emphasis on compact form factors and low power consumption.

Established in 2010 by researchers in imaging and photonics, LuxSense began with ambient light sensors for mobile devices. It later expanded into automotive-grade sensors and built international R&D facilities in San Jose and Munich to support product development. In 2018 it introduced a family of color-sensing and spectroscopic modules used for quality control and materials identification in manufacturing settings.

Core technology includes silicon photodiode arrays, CMOS front-end processing, and on-chip calibration to maintain accuracy across temperature and aging. The company also provides software for sensor fusion and edge analytics, enabling higher-level interpretation of light, color, and spectral data.

LuxSense serves original equipment manufacturers and system integrators across mobile, automotive, and industrial sectors. Its products are used for automatic display brightness control, adaptive vehicle lighting and sensor-based ADAS inputs, as well as process monitoring, material sorting, and environmental sensing in industrial and smart-building applications.
