Fairchild Presents New CMOS Imagers

Yahoo: Fairchild Imaging will be exhibiting CMOS image sensor technology for demanding low-light applications requiring high-resolution, high-speed and extreme sensitivity at Photonics West in San Jose, January 27 - 29. According to Colin Earle, Fairchild Imaging's Vice President of Sales and Marketing, "the new CIS technology represents a dramatic breakthrough in low-light imaging. These new CMOS devices outperform the best CCD imagers. Moreover, the inherently digital, solid-state nature of CIS offers significant advantages over traditional low-light imaging devices such as image intensifier tubes or electron-bombarded sensors."
