Samsung CMOS Image Sensor Solutions
Advanced imaging technology for high-end consumer and commercial products
Discover why Samsung CMOS image sensor (CIS) solutions are the choice of leading manufacturers in the rapidly growing and evolving world of digital imaging. Samsung offers a wide range of image sensor solutions for applications such as smartphones, tablets, digital still cameras, digital single-lens reflex (SLR) cameras, webcams, automotive cameras, and surveillance cameras. Our sensors are compartmentalized per application, with high-resolution sensors for handsets and smartphones, and dynamic range for extended operating temperatures in digital SLR and automotive applications.
Samsung's CIS solutions provide heightened light sensitivity in a small form factor
Benefit from exceptional design features
Gain the high performance and power efficiency that are key design requirements for today's mobile applications and digital cameras. Key features of Samsung CIS solutions include:
- Proprietary low-light technology and advanced pixel architectures
- High-speed frame rates with low power consumption
- Small pixels and high resolutions from industry-leading process technology
Samsung's proprietary Back Side Illumination (BSI) technology is designed to overcome the natural degradation of light sensitivity and image quality that occurs as pixel sizes decrease. As a result, Samsung sensors provide high sensitivity for sharp, low-light pictures and high-speed video recording while enabling you to capitalize on the trend toward ever smaller, slimmer designs
Choose from a wide range of image sensor solutions
Available in resolutions from 0.3 to 20 megapixels, Samsung image sensors are designed to provide high performance and low power consumption in smartphones, tablets, digital still cameras, and other fast-growing product categories.
