eyeo opens new design center in Antwerp for next-generation color-splitting image sensors development
Opening March 17 at Antwerp Berchem’s MeetDistrict, the new office will house a dedicated expert design team delivering eyeo’s breakthrough color-splitting sensors to the world
Antwerp (Belgium), March 17 2026 – eyeo today announced the opening of a new office at MeetDistrict Berchem in Antwerp, Belgium. Located steps from well-connected Antwerp-Berchem train station, the new center will house a dedicated sensor design team focused on developing eyeo’s next generation of nanophotonic color-splitting image sensors, advancing the company’s mission to give all cameras perfect eyesight.
eyeo revolutionizes imaging for consumer, industrial, XR, smart city and mobile applications with color-splitting photonics technology that triples light sensitivity and breaks sensor resolution limits, unlocking picture quality, color accuracy and resolution never before possible in smartphones and beyond.
Scaling from Antwerp
Antwerp, with its vibrant sensor design ecosystem and access to exceptional engineering talent, is the natural home for eyeo’s next step: scaling its color splitting image sensors into production-ready designs for mobile, XR, smart city and other consumer applications. The new design center marks a strategic expansion as eyeo ramps up its commercialization roadmap.
Jeroen Hoet, co-founder and CEO of eyeo: “Our technology is ready to change imaging fundamentally. To deliver it at scale, eyeo is building a world-class image sensor design team in Antwerp. This is where breakthrough science will be engineered into the image sensors that power tomorrow’s cameras, impacting the 10 billion sensors sold every year.”
eyeo is hiring
eyeo is actively recruiting IC design and system architecture specialists to join the Antwerp team. If you are passionate about image sensing, like to work in the most advanced 3D stacked CMOS image sensor technologies and want to build the future of imaging, apply now: eyeo-imaging.com/vacancies
I don't understand Eyeo's approach to be wanting to make their own silicon. They should rather make a demonstrator with available commercial wafers and then get into a licensing model. Trying to compete with the big guys on Si level seems overly ambitious.
ReplyDeleteI am honestly a bit skeptical about it's utility in consumer applications. Maybe as a hobby for pixel peepers to argue about skin tone and artefacts and so on and so forth. Or as a marketing strategy. It may have some real advantages in some niche industrial applications, perhaps not high-end where your channel separation has to be quite high.
ReplyDeleteEyeo’s waveguide-based color splitting claims 3x sensitivity and doubled resolution by supplanting absorptive CFAs, but ignores critical flaws in the photonic-sensor integration. Complementary Y/B and R/C pairing eliminates direct green-channel sampling—key for high-SNR luminance resolution—replacing it with opponent-space reconstruction vulnerable to cross-talk, aliasing, and noise amplification in RGB inversion. Additional unaddressed issues include degraded fill factor from waveguide overhead, aggressive blue-response cutoff needed for the CY channel , diffraction losses in subwavelength gratings, and polarization sensitivity introducing further spatially variant blur. Without peer-reviewed MTF, SNR, and QE spectra versus optimized Bayer+modern demosaics, these remain unsubstantiated marketing assertions.
ReplyDeleteThere should be a filter against such ai generated posts like yours.
DeleteI don't think the comment claims anything outrageous. Indeed these are all merely marketing claims, and peer-reviewed publications would help support credibility. Also agree on the concern with trying to make your own silicon if your main IP is a post processing step. I just hope investors will get a lot more information for due diligence. But if eyeo were a publicly traded company with the amount of superficial information circulating at this point, I certainly wouldn't invest. I don't think the comment should be filtered (and it's not my comment)
DeleteAs some once said - attack the message, not the messenger :)
DeleteThe message is ok, it is the messenger the problem. What’s the point of copy pasting AI content in the comments section? Does he expect AI generated answer as well?
ReplyDeleteThat is AI discrimination ;)
DeleteI, for one, am happy finally some people try to look past the Eyeo marketing. AI will pop up here and there, and the above "nefarious" message seems indeed AI generated, probably used to summerize penned down notes quickly - a bit gawky but pointing at things I thought of myself, and some more.
ReplyDeleteWill Eyeo have access to a cutting edge wafer foundry? If yes, they will need extra funding for mask + proto wafers in the order of 10-20M USD.
