Temperature effects on colorimetic accuracy of the BTJ color detector

Measurements of the spectral sensitivities of the Buried Triple p-n Junction color detector have been carried out in the -60 degrees C to 60 degrees C temperature range. Temperature behavior of the photo-currents are described. Variations in the BTJ CMFs have been calculated and a procedure for colorimetric characterization which consider the detector temperature is proposed. Using the proposed procedure, color differences between the detector specifications and the color coordinates in the CIE standard have been determined. The validity of this procedure is evaluated in terms of color shift between the detector specifications caused by a temperature change.
