First Kodak 2.2um Pixel

CameraTown: Kodak announced the KODAK KAC-05010 5.0 megapixel CMOS image sensor targeted for mass-market consumer applications in the high-volume digital still camera and mobile phone markets.

The KAC-05010 image sensor is 2.2 micron pixel, 1 / 2.5 format CMOS sensor. Up until now the smallest Kodak CMOS sensor had 2.7um pixels.

The KAC-05010 incorporates KODAK PIXELUX technology, an architecture that uses pinned photodiodes and a four-transistor (4T) shared pixel structure to produce lower noise. It also includes charge-domain binning of multiple pixels on the imaging array for higher sensitivity and 30 frames per second video recording.

The KAC-05010 image sensor is now sampling.
