20130236183 | VISIBLE LIGHT COMMUNICATION TRANSCEIVER AND SYSTEM - A visible light communication (VLC) transceiver and a VLC system are provided. The VLC transceiver includes a substrate, a lens module and a plurality of channel units. The channel units are disposed on the substrate in an array to provide different bidirectional communication channels. Wherein, each of the channel units respectively includes at least a visible light emitter and at least a visible light receiver. The channel units can enhance communication bandwidth by using modulation technology such as spatial multiplexing or time multiplexing. The lens module is disposed on an optical path of the channel units. The lens module actively tracks the receiving situation of the visible light receiver to improve the signal quality of high-speed multiplexing communication. | 09-12-2013 |
