The shutter is a critical component in cameras, acting as an opening and closing device that controls the exposure time of the photosensitive material (such as film) or the image sensor (IMAGE SENSOR). This control over the exposure time is essential for capturing specific images with the desired clarity and quality. The performance and quality of the shutter directly impact the overall performance of the camera, making it an integral part of imaging systems. In this article, we will explore the basic concepts and applications of shutters, as well as how customized optical shutter solutions can meet the specific needs of various industries.
The role of the shutter
The shutter has the role of “adjusting the exposure time.”
“Adjusting the exposure time” means adjusting the amount of light that hits the sensor.
Cameras block light using a “shutter.” It’s like a human’s eyelid.
While the shutter is open, the “sensor receives light.”
In other words, the exposure time (the amount of time the sensor is exposed to light) can be adjusted by opening and closing the shutter.
If there was no shutter, the sensor would continue to receive light and would continue to generate an image forever.
It is because the shutter blocks light that you can capture an image of the “intended moment.”
Introduction to Optical Shutter Products
At Shenzhen Kuyang Electronics, we leverage our core technology and years of experience in digital cameras and camera modules to provide high-quality, long-lasting, and highly reliable optical shutter products. Our products cater to various imaging needs, including infrared shutters for thermal imaging and high-speed shutters for drone and professional camera applications. Additionally, we offer customized shutter solutions to meet the specific needs of our clients.
1. Infrared Shutter: Ensuring Field Vision and Obstacle Perception
Infrared shutters are used in infrared thermal imagers, infrared cameras, night vision devices, and goggles. These shutters ensure high-quality night vision and obstacle detection in Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS). By accurately controlling light exposure, infrared shutters contribute to better vision in low-light or night-time conditions, making them invaluable for security and surveillance applications.
At Shenzhen Kuyang Electronics, our infrared shutters are designed for high reliability and durability, ensuring long-term performance even in demanding environments. These products are highly valued by camera manufacturers both domestically and internationally.
2. High-Speed Shutter: UAV Mapping, SLR Camera, and High-Speed Capture
For applications requiring high-speed imaging, such as drone mapping and professional cameras, high-speed shutters are essential. These shutters can operate at extremely fast speeds, with options such as 1/500 second, 1/1000 second, 1/1500 second, 1/2000 second, or even faster, allowing for high-quality image capture without motion blur. This is especially useful in aerial mapping, professional sports photography, or any application requiring quick, precise shots.
We provide customized high-speed shutters that meet the specific needs of each project, ensuring high precision, reliability, and longevity. Whether for UAVs, SLR cameras, or other high-speed imaging systems, our shutters are designed to optimize performance, enabling you to capture sharp, detailed images even in fast-paced scenarios.
