Samsung introduces new image sensor
Samsung has recently introduced its newest 200MP ISOCELL HP3 image sensor with the industry’s smallest 0.56-micrometer (μm)-pixels, enabling quicker and more accurate focus and a clear resolution for the entire area of the image captured.
Samsung has been leading the trend of next-generation, ultra-high-resolution camera development ever since its first 108MP image sensor roll-out in 2019. This year, with the ISOCELL HP3, Samsung is allowing a 12 percent smaller pixel size compared to the predecessor’s 0.64μm. The image sensor packs 200 million pixels in a 1/1.4” optical format, which is the diameter of the area that is captured through the camera lens. These factors mean that the ISOCELL HP3 can enable an approximately 20 percent reduction in camera module surface area, allowing sm...
