Panasonic Develops Technology for Highly Sensitive Image Sensors Using Micro Color Splitters

Osaka, Japan – Panasonic Corporation has developed unique “micro color splitters”, which separate the light that falls on image sensors by exploiting light’s wavelike properties. Applying them to actual image sensors allows bright color images to be achieved even under low-light conditions. This development makes color filters unnecessary by using the micro color splitters that control the diffraction1 of light at a microscopic level. Panasonic has achieved approximately double the color sensitivity in comparison with … Read More → "Panasonic Develops Technology for Highly Sensitive Image Sensors Using Micro Color Splitters"
