The firm expands its 0.8μm picture sensor lineup with 64Mp ISOCELL Bright GW1 and 48Mp ISOCELL Bright GM2 that enable vibrant ultra-high decision cellular pictures
Samsung Electronics, a world chief in superior semiconductor know-how, at this time launched two new 0.8-micrometer (μm) pixel picture sensors – the 64-megapixel (Mp) Samsung ISOCELL Bright GW1 and 48Mp ISOCELL Bright GM2. With the addition, Samsung expands its 0.8μm picture sensor lineup, the smallest pixel dimension at present out there available in the market, from current 20Mp to ultra-high 64Mp resolutions.
“Over the past few years, mobile phone cameras have become the main instrument for recording and sharing our everyday moments,” stated Yongin Park, govt vice chairman of sensor enterprise at Samsung Electronics. “With more pixels and advanced pixel technologies, Samsung ISOCELL Bright GW1 and GM2 will bring a new level of photography to today’s sleekest mobile devices that will enhance and help change the way we record our daily lives.”
ISOCELL Bright GW1 is a 64Mp picture sensor that options the best decision in Samsung’s 0.8μm-pixel picture sensor lineup. With pixel-merging Tetracell know-how** and remosaic algorithm***, GW1 can produce vivid 16Mp pictures in low-light environments and highly-detailed 64Mp pictures in brighter settings. To take footage resembling the way in which the human eye perceives its environment in a combined gentle setting, GW1 helps real-time excessive dynamic vary (HDR) of as much as 100-decibels (dB) that gives richer hues. In comparability, the dynamic vary of a standard picture sensor is at round 60dB, whereas that of the human eye is often thought of to be round 120dB.
GW1 is provided with a Dual Conversion Gain (DCG) that converts the acquired gentle into an electrical sign in keeping with the illumination of the setting. This permits the sensor to optimize its full effectively capability (FWC), using the collected gentle extra effectively particularly in vivid environments. Sharper outcomes might be delivered by Super PD, a high-performance part detection auto-focus know-how, and full HD recording at 480 frames-per-second (fps) is supported for easy cinematic gradual movement movies.
ISOCELL Bright GM2 is a 48Mp picture sensor that additionally adopts Tetracell know-how in low-light environments and a remosaic algorithm in well-lit settings, bringing highly-detailed footage with pure and vivid colours. GM2, like GW1, adopts DCG as effectively for added efficiency and Super PD for quick autofocus.
Samsung ISOCELL Bright GW1 and GM2 are at present sampling and are anticipated to be in mass manufacturing within the second half of this 12 months.
*Samsung first introduced its ISOCELL know-how in 2013, which reduces color-cross speak between pixels by inserting a bodily barrier, permitting small-sized pixels to realize larger colour constancy. Based on this know-how, Samsung launched the business’s first 1.0um-pixel picture sensor in 2015 and 0.9-pixel sensor in 2017. In June 2018, Samsung launched an upgraded pixel isolation know-how, the ISOCELL Plus.
**Tetracell know-how merges 4 pixels into one in order that customers can obtain top quality pictures in all gentle situations.
***In vivid environments, Tetracell makes use of a re-mosaic algorithm to supply full decision pictures.
