Micron technologies released its new technology for digital cameras, a 8 megapixel image sensor in a ½.5 inch optical format using a 1.75 micron pixel design. This new sensor features high definition (HD) video capture (11 inch by 14 inch) or can be used to zoom in and print just a portion of the image without distorting the image quality. Additionally the sensor is capable of bursting more than 10 pictures a second at full 8 megapixel resolution and 30 pictures a second at 2 megapixel resolution.
Micron technologies is the leading supplier of image sensors, as a proof of that Micron its working on a 1.4 micron pixel design, by reducing the pixel size, Micron is delivering high quality images, because of the better resolution, to digital cameras and mobile phones.
“With the 8–megapixel image sensor being designed with our latest 1.75-micron pixel, and the encouraging results we’re seeing with the next-generation smaller pixel at 1.4-microns, Micron leads the industry in both smaller and higher performance image sensors, enabling our customers to create new and exciting camera products,” said Bob Gove, vice president of Micron Technology’s imaging group.
In the mobile phone market, Micron is going to strength its positions since the 1.75 micron sensor will deliver 3 megapixel resolution in the standard optical format of mobile phones of ¼ inch. The mass production of the sensor is expected in the first semester of 2007.
