After all, Face ID should recognize the projected pattern even under the direct sun. The sunlight photocurrent is way larger than the DC, probably to a degree when DC does not matter.Vladimir Koifmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01800020176563544699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19092890.post-19108951212222412862017-11-17T14:29:49.459+02:002017-11-17T14:29:49.459+02:00any clew about the dark current level of this IR s...any clew about the dark current level of this IR sensor?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
