Kodak introduced the first 1.4 Micron, 5 MP, High-ISO CMOS Sensor combining two new KODAK technologies for better pictures from a smaller sensor. The company combined its recenelty announced Color Filter Pattern technology with their new CMOS pixel to birth the KODAK KAC-05020 Image Sensor. The sensor is the worlds first 1.4 micron, 5 MP device. It is designed for the mass-consumer market, in applications such as mobile phones.
“Camera phones and other small-pixel consumer imaging devices often suffer from poor performance, especially under low light conditions. To manufacture sensors that utilize these very small pixels – only two to three times the wavelength of visible light – we needed to challenge everything we knew about pixel and sensor design,” said Chris McNiffe, General Manager of Kodak’s Image Sensor Solutions business. “By completely rethinking the design of the CMOS pixel and leveraging our work with high sensitivity color filter patterns and algorithms, Kodak was able to develop this remarkable new sensor that will enable a level of imaging performance previously unavailable from CMOS devices.”
