"Lee Je-seok, Vice President and Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of the Sensor Business Team, also resigned recently after 32 years at the company. Lee is considered a "living witness" of Samsung’s image sensor brand, ISOCELL, and is credited with leading the development of the world's first 100-megapixel and 200-megapixel sensors, as well as securing a spot in Apple’s supply chain.

Following his resignation, Lee is reportedly preparing to launch an image sensor startup. On social media, he posted an image signaling a "stealth mode" startup with global experts, stating he would "redefine the future of imaging in January 2027." Industry observers are closely watching as a key designer of Samsung's proprietary technology could emerge as a potential competitor."

  2. samsung image sensor fab + design house = channelize funding for smart sensor design.. many startup around Samsung in Korea have FAB/DESIGN partnerships and thus this will be crucial to get a dedicated design house using all the eco-system there...
