Samsung unveils ISOCELL phone camera sensor for better low-light shooting

Samsung has announced its new ISOCELL technology for CMOS image sensors that substantially increases light sensitivity and controls the absorption of electrons Samsung has announced its new ISOCELL technology for CMOS image sensors that substantially increases light sensitivity and controls the absorption of electrons for higher colour fidelity in low light scenarios. The quality of an image sensor is determined by the amount of light that is accurately captured by the individual pixels within the sensor array and previous technological developments progressed pixel technology from Front Side Illumination to Back Side Illumination. The technology boasts of better low-light pictures Samsung developed ISOCELL building on these past developments to create a physical barrier between neighboring pixels, thereby isolating the pixel. The S5K4H5YB 8 Megapixel imager is the first image sensor by Samsung to adopt this technology and utilises a 1.12um ISOCELL pixel along with a 1/4inch optical format.
