Fujifilm and Panasonic, developed Technology of organic CMOS image sensor

Fujifilm and Panasonic, 

developed a technology of "organic CMOS image sensor" 

that realized the performance over Panasonic conventional image sensor 

by using an organic thin film having a function to convert light into electrical signals 

to the light-receiving portion of image sensor.

Through the use of this technology to 

such image sensor as a digital camera, 

it realized further expansion of dynamic range and the sensitivity up. 

No blown out highlights in bright place, allowing vivid video

in rich texture even in a dark subject. 

Combining the organic thin film technology of Fujifilm 

with the semiconductor device technology of Panasonic, 

the organic CMOS image sensor technology 

was developed jointly in both companies. 

It is expected for the organic CMOS image sensor technology to be proposed 

for use to a wide range of such applications as monitoring 

and car-mounted camera, mobile terminal and digital camera.
