Sony today announced the commercialization of newly developed CMOS sensor “IMX144CQJ”, the sensor size is 1/1.7″ and captures images at 12.4 million pixel resolution, the sensor can be used for still digital camera and camcorders for recording high quality videos.
Major features of the new 12.4 million pixel 1/1.7″ BSI CMOS sensor – translated by google
- Is compared available / old conventional back-illuminated type sensors (1/2.3, 1/1.7), the new sensor features low noise, high sensitivity and high dynamic.
- Compared with our conventional product (12.4 million pixel 1/2.3 type effect), which is aimed at 1.3-fold increase in sensitivity, and increased saturation signal level of 1.9 times.
- Could be obtained for the dependence of F value and a good wide angle of incidence characteristics significantly better than the conventional back-illuminated type 1/2.3, degrees of freedom of optical design is improved, also available in high magnification zoom lens and a lighter .
- High-definition video and high-speed shooting in the 4K2K 60frame / s it becomes possible, while the next generation corresponds to the 4K format image sensor for civilian use.
- By the new converter circuit configuration of the column-parallel A / D, designed to operate with low power consumption and a decrease of approximately 34% compared to our conventional product.
