Panasonic Still Hasn’t Finished the Organic CMOS Sensor

Panasonic has touted additional benefits of the organic CMOS sensor that it has been working on for nearly a decade, and while the developments still sound enticing, the company seems no closer to release.

On Friday, Panasonic wrote a lengthy blog post where it noted the benefits of its organic CMOS sensor with regard to its “excellent color reproduction” under multiple types of light sources.

In this technology, the organic thin film that performs photoelectric conversion and the circuit that stores and reads out electric charge are completely independent of each other. This unique layered structure reduces the sensitivity of each pixel in green, red, and blue in wavelength regions outside the target range. Since it can achieve spectral characteristics with low color mixing, accurate color reproduction is possible regardless of the type of light source.
