"The first of these is the decision to move the color filter that normally sits above the sensor directly onto top of the pixels, leaving less room for error. The second technology is the use of what Apple calls ‘Deep Trench Isolation’, which puts small dividers between the pixels to prevent light from bouncing around unnecessarily."
A Youtube video from today's Apple event shows the camera part of the presentation, starting from time 1:25:
do they use always Sony image sensors?
ReplyDeleteIn the past they have used Omnivision image sensors.. I think up to the iPhone 4.
ReplyDeleteWho has the color filter technology?? Sony,toppan or visera???
ReplyDeleteis it OV12850 ?
ReplyDeleteIs it "just" CFA directly on top of a back-illuminated device + deep trech isolation?
ReplyDeleteDoes this sensor has any on chip memory option?
ReplyDeleteBuried CFA and DTI: it is like the Samsung technology.
ReplyDeleteIt is kind of funny how they dance around words like Sony, BSI or Exmor RS. It must be quite a difficult position for Apple to only have "state of the art" when they are expected to deliver "groundbreaking new"...
