Sony is set to provide Apple with a 'state-of-the-art' image sensor for its next iPhone that will supposedly double the amount of light it can capture.
Sony Will Supply Apple with ‘Advanced’ Image Sensor for the Next iPhoneSony is set to provide Apple with a “state-of-the-art” image sensor for its next iPhone that will supposedly double the amount of light it can capture and give it the ability to clearly capture a face even with a strong backlight.
According to the report, Sony’s new image sensor doubles the saturation signal level in each pixel which allows it to capture more light while also allowing it to reduce overexposure or underexposure in certain settings. As a result, the sensor is capable of not only better low-light performance, but it is better able to meter starkly different exposures, such as a face that is heavily backlit by the sun.
Typical sensors place photodiodes and pixel transistors on the same substrate, but this new design separates them onto different layers, dramatically improving dynamic range and reducing noise. “Because the photo diodes and pixel transistor are physically separated in this structure, it has become possible to optimize each of them. The announcement mentioned expected pixel performance improvements such as enhanced dynamic range and noise improvements. However, the device has many possibilities for additional new functions, as well as performance improvements.
