Toshiba Launches 8-Megapixel, 1.12µm, CMOS Image Sensor

TOKYO - Friday, November 8th 2013 [ME NewsWire]

(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Toshiba Corporation (TOKYO:6502) today announced the launch of “T4K35”, a 1.12µm, 8-megapixel BSI[1] CMOS image sensor with color noise reduction (CNR). Mass production shipments will start on November 15.

The product integrates a CNR circuit and realizes a signal-to-noise ratio equal to Toshiba’s equivalent products fabricated with 1.4µm pixel process.

The “T4K35” also incorporates a high dynamic range (HDR) function that faithfully reproduces dark and bright areas in high contrast images. The product’s high frame rate of 30fps at full resolution reduces delays in imaging, resulting in less release time lag, and allows continuous shooting.

Note: [1] BSI: Back Side Illumination.
