Samsung ISOCELL Plus Camera Sensor Captures Color More Accurately
Jun 27, 2018, 7:49 AM by Eric M. Zeman
Samsung today introduced an update to its CMOS sensors called ISOCELL Plus. ISOCELL sensors work by placing a physical barrier between pixels to prevent light and color from bleeding between them. In Samsung's existing sensors, this barrier is made out of metal. The new ISOCELL Plus sensors put a new material made by Fujifilm to use, which Samsung says minimizes optical loss and light reflection. The end result is better color, better low-light performance, and sharper photos. Samsung claims the new sensor improves light sensitivity by 15% while also delivering higher color fidelity. The new material also allows Samsung to create pixels as small as 0.8 micrometers, which can help when designing super-resolution sensors with over 20 megapixels. This allows more pixels to fit in a smaller space. Samsung is showcasing the technology this week. It didn't say how soon ISOCELL Plus technology will reach its phones.
