The eye of a camera, imaging device
The excellence of SONY's optical devices is based on CCD and CMOS sensors.
Exmor R back-illuminated CMOS image sensor CMOS Image Sensor directly manufactured by SONY shows even sharper pictures and is
excellent in taking high quality images in a dark place or in a wobbly situation.
SONY has been leading CCD image sensor market for many years and has also been holding
a dominating position in CMOS image sensor market since 2009.
SONY has enhanced image quality even better in digital cameras and camcorders as well as surveillance cameras and
black box cameras by expanding Exmor R back-illuminated CMOS image sensor CMOS Image Sensor business aggressively and
we are in charge of the sale of SONY devices at local agencies.
Outstanding Visibility under the Starlight.
There is a need for surveillance cameras to film with clear images in a variety of environments.
Sony's image sensors meet this need by providing high-sensitivity performance suitable for night filming.
The STARVIS is back-illuminated pixel technology used in CMOS image sensors for surveillance camera applications.
It features a sensitivity of 2000 mV or more per 1 µm2 (color product, when imaging with a 706 cd/m2 light source, F5.6 in 1 s accumulation equivalent),
and realizes high picture quality in the visible-light and near infrared light regions.
Global Shutter Technology
Sony has incorporated Pregius, a global shutter function, into the CMOS image sensor to meet customer needs.
The Pregius is global shutter pixel technology for active pixel-type CMOS image sensors that use Sony’s low-noise CCD structure, and realizes high picture quality.
Global Shutter
In industrial applications there is often a demand to recognize the accurate form of fast-moving objects.
Until now, a rolling shutter has been used as the electronic shutter mechanism in CMOS image sensors; therefore, unavoidable intrinsic distortion of the focal plane occurs.
