TOKEN PGM CDS Photoresistors CDS Light-Dependent Photoresistors Light-Dependent Photoresistors for Sensor Applications Preview The cadmium sulfide (CdS) or light dependent resistor (LDR) whose resistance is inversly dependent on the amount of light falling on it, is known by many names including the photo resistor, photoresistor, photoconductor, photoconductive cell, or simply the photocell.
A typical structure for a photoresistor uses an active semiconductor layer that is deposited on an insulating substrate.
The semiconductor is normally lightly doped to enable it to have the required level of conductivity.
Contacts are then placed either side of the exposed area.
The photo-resistor, CdS...
