Image sensor from Panasonic captures uneven brightness and color

Panasonic Corporation has developed Maicovicon 2 MOS image sensor which can capture unevenness in brightness and color offering both high sensitivity and uniform picture quality.

Panasonic says it has achieved both MOS image sensor's high sensitivity and uniform picture quality using the new MOS image sensor technologies, enabling digital cameras and camcorders as well as cameras incorporated in smartphones and other mobile terminals to be slimmer with higher sensitivity and improved picture quality.
The new MOS image sensor has the following features:
The fine process technologies provide a sensitivity of 3050 el/lx/sec/µm2 (Panasonic claims this is the industry's highest as a MOS image sensor).
The new light-focusing structure expands the incident light angle, ensuring uniform and high picture quality, as well as produces a slimmer camera.
The simple manufacturing process is based on the current MOS image sensor structure, ensuring a stable supply.
The new MOS image sensor has been created using the following Panasonic technologies:
The 32 and 45 nm (nanometers) semiconductor process technologies lower the wiring layer profile, expand the opening area, and increase the photo diode volume.
The low color-mixing characteristics are enhanced by light-focusing structure design technologies that use a three-dimensional wave optics design to minimize light leakage at the structural boundaries.
Image sensor mass-production technologies allow stable production of MOS image sensors with high picture-quality.
