During the recently concluded Mobile World Congress (MWC) Shanghai 2017, Samsung introduced its well known ISOCELL image sensor brand for cameras. The brand is powered and named after the company’s in-house ‘ISOCELL’ technology, which is targeted for use in modern devices that require ultra-slim designs with high quality cameras.
The company also introduced four new technological ISOCELL sub-brands – the Bright, Dual, Fast and Slim, for address different market demands:
- ISOCELL Bright sensors deliver bright and sharp images with high color fidelity and reduced noise in low light environments
- ISOCELL Fast sensors provide fast autofocus onto still or moving objects even when dark
- ISOCELL Slim sensors adopt the smallest pixel sizes available in the market at 0.9-1.0um, yet produce high quality images for the slimmest devices
- ISOCELL Dual sensors can be mixed and matched in various combinations on consumer devices to bring about features demanded in the latest dual camera trend
The ISOCELL image sensor brand was introduced in 2013 and birthed out of necessity to continue to bring innovation to cameras used in smartphones and other applications. According to the press release, the technology separates each pixel with a physical barrier that reduces color crosstalk among pixels. This allows high color fidelity, enabling excellent image quality even with smaller pixels.
