It used an infrared device positioned next to the screen in order for it to register movement, making the Peacekeeper unusual compared to most other light guns of the era, which were reliant on the scanout of CRTs to function.

==History== In 2011, there was a patent dispute between Philips and Nintendo over the use of the technology (a remote and a “sensor” bar) for the Wii (and later the Wii U), which was settled out of court in 2014.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2014/12/nintendo_and_philips_sign_global_patent_license_agreement_to_resolve_dispute_over_wii_technology |title=Nintendo and Philips Sign Global Patent License Agreement to Resolve Dispute Over Wii Technology |date=2 December 2014 |last1=Whitehead |first1=Thomas |website=Nintendo Life |publisher=NLife Media}}</ref>
