TOKYO - Nikon Corporation (Nikon) has developed a stacked, 4K × 4K, CMOS image sensor with a total pixel count of approximately 17.8 megapixels that realizes high-resolution imaging with 1000 frames per second, and high dynamic range (HDR) characteristics of 110 dB.
This result was announced at the ISSCC (International Solid-State Circuits Conference) held in San Francisco, USA from February 15, 2021.
In all fields, there is a demand for image sensors that realize the full combination of compactness, light weight, high frame rate, wide dynamic range, and high resolution.
It has a high resolution of 4K × 4K pixels, a wide dynamic range of 110 dB, and high-speed shooting of 1000 frames per second.
The top chip is divided into individual blocks of 16 × 16 pixels, with a total of 264 × 264 blocks (4224 × 4224 pixels) arranged on the sensor.
