High Sensitivity and Wide Dynamic Range CMOS Image Sensor

Realize ultimate sensitivity and wide dynamic range over 100 dB in one exposure

Summary

This technology realizes a wide dynamic range CMOS image sensor by employing Lateral Overflow Integration Capacitor (LOFIC) in a pixel.
The LOFIC technology can solve the tradeoff between high sensitivity and high saturation signal. This technology has been ready to the market.
