The sensor combines Fujifilm's organic photoelectric conversion layer technology with Panasonic's semiconductor technology, including a newly-developed noise-cancelling circuit. The new organic CMOS image sensor is said to offer the industry's highest dynamic range of 88dB, advanced sensitivity 1.2 times higher than conventional sensors (by Panasonic) and broader range of incident angle (up to 60deg) to enable the production of more sensitive and compact lenses with better image quality. The two companies will promote the application of this organic CMOS image sensor technology to a wide range of products including security cameras, in-vehicle cameras, mobile device and digital cameras. The pixel size ranges from 0.9um to 3um.
Would it be safe to say that the organic image sensor takes significantly lower cost compared to 4T pinned photo-diode as there is only one or two layers that need to be optimized for optical performance?
ReplyDeleteWhy would this sensor use miocrolenses? Isn't the fill factor already 100%?
ReplyDeletePrevent cross talk perhaps?
