Image Sensors

Product Overview

Our Unique Image Sensing Technology

Image sensor applications are rapidly growing in various fields, such as digital still camera (DSC), mobile devices, digital video camera (DVC), surveillance, medical, and broadcast.
Panasonic provides rich lineups of CCD image sensors and CMOS image sensors, νMaicovicon® and SmartFSI®. Based on the CCD process technology cultivated through years and the industry-leading semiconductor process technology, our image sensors have achieved high-performance image sensing with high definition, sensitivity, resolution, and quality and have enabled smaller/thinner package to be used. Furthermore, we deliver new diversified and sophisticated solutions with our unique novel sensor technology.
Panasonic image sensors allow creation of new lifestyles that make social life impressive, secure, and safe.

Features

Cutting-edge SmartFSI® CMOS Image Sensor

View the video about the SmartFSI® CMOS Image Sensor

Capture Beautiful Night Scene and Make All Over Pictures Vivid !

Cutting-edge SmartFSI® CMOS Image Sensor

For example, when shooting in dark surroundings, there is need to use a higher sensitivity setting but this will cause an increase in the noise level.
SmartFSI® can achieve both high sensitivity and noise reduction, which enables very high color reproductive results.

Cutting-edge SmartFSI® CMOS Image Sensor

The wide incident angle characteristics can improve the image uniformity further.
This prevents color shading between the center & surrounding image and so colors are more even.

Ultimate Light Bending and Confining Technology

Ultimate Light Bending and Confining Technology

In the case of SmartFSI®, the light surrounding the pixel wall works as a reflector, and forces the uniform light into the photodiode and thus, demonstrating strong color re-productivity and super sensitivity.

Ultimate Light Bending and Confining Technology

Light enters the sensor at different angles.
The combination of light partitioning and optical waveguide technology allows the maximum amount of light to be captured.
Because there is no mixing of colors, the outcome is a very high resolution picture.

CCD Image Sensor Technology

Capture a fine photograph even in too strong/weak light environment !

Matured CCD Image Sensor Technology

Excellent smear resistance to the strong light

Matured CCD Image Sensor Technology

S/N ratio improved under low illumination

Outstanding Near IR Sensing Technology

Improved sensitivity in near-infrared region as well as visible region widens the range of applications.
