Samsung ISOCELL, new camera sensor that improves color

Samsung has introduced a new camera sensor for mobile devices called ISOCELL. This sensor increases the sensitivity of light and shows greater color fidelity, even in low light. Its mass production is scheduled for the fourth quarter of this year.

The cameras of smartphones and tablets have become one of the most used by users. So far, the main industry giants are making every effort to offer the best technology in terms of cameras on their mobile devices. To achieve this, not only just create the camera with more megapixels but also incorporate a number of sensors and technology to help improve the light or colors when taking pictures.
Nokia is one of the leading companies that have paid great attention to the role of photography in smartphones. Its sensors and Pure View technology allows users to not only capture the best pictures even in low light but also with stability control, among others.
Not only Nokia is concerned photography. South Korea's Samsung is also developing its own sensors to deal with the devices of its main rivals in this regard. Therefore, the company has introduced its new sensor ISOCELL.

"High color fidelity"

This is a CMOS image sensor, says Samsung on its official blog, offers higher image quality and improves user experience on smartphones and tablets. This sensor increases sensitivity to light exposure and controls the absorption of electrons, allowing "greater color fidelity" even in low light.
ISOCELL is a new generation of pixel technology which replaces the Back-Side Illumination (BSI), which responded at the time with improved image quality.
 
"Compared to conventional BSI pixel, pixels ISOCELL reduce the crosstalk by about 30 percent, which results in greater color fidelity to reproduce the original color clearly and wealth, and thus increase the full capacity (FWC) 30 percent, which leads to a greater dynamic range, "says the company.
S5K4H5YB The 8 megapixel sensor is the first to incorporate this new technology, whose mass production is scheduled for the fourth quarter of this year. As reported by research firm Techno System Research, consulted by Samsung, 66 percent of smartphones will have these image sensors with 8 megapixel or higher resolution.
