Toshiba Corporation has unveiled T4K35, a new 1.12µm, 8-megapixel BSI CMOS image sensor with color noise reduction (CNR) aimed to smartphones and tablet . The integrated CNR circuit and realizes a signal-to-noise ratio are similar to Toshiba sensor created with 1.4µm pixel process. This sensor also incorporates a high dynamic range (HDR) function that reproduces dark and bright areas in high contrast images perfectly.
Features of Toshiba T4K35 image sensor
- 1/4″ 8M resolution (1.12 μm)
- BSI: Back Side Illumination
- Adoption of Color Noise Reduction (CNR) realizes signal-to-noise ratio equal to Toshiba’s equivalent products fabricated with 1.4µm pixel process.
- Storobe timing pulse
- Standby mode, Power down mode
- Global reset for mechanical shutter
- High Dynamic Range.
- High speed frame rate: 30fps at full resolution (8 Megapixels).
The sensor was first announced back in November 2012 along with T4K37, a 13MP sensor. The mass production was expected to start in July 2013, now Toshiba has announced that the company would begin the mass production of the sensor starting November 15th.
