Toshiba to Launch Full-HD, 1.12μm CMOS Image Sensor with Colour Noise Reduction

The T4K71 image sensor integrates both BSI and CNR to achieve a signal-to-noise ratio equal to Toshiba’s existing 1.4μm product. As a result it enables chip and camera module miniaturization and will contribute to achieving thinner smartphones and tablets.

Toshiba’s new sensor has a pixel array of 1088 (V) x 1928 (H) and satisfies the 1/7.3-inch optical format. A high-speed frame rate of 60fps at full resolution supports smooth, continuous recording of full, high-definition video.

The new sensor provides image scaling and picture flip functionality as well as lens shading correction and auto defect pixel correction. Connectivity includes I2C interface and CSI-2 interfaces.

Samples of the T4K71 will be available at the end of April 1013, with mass production scheduled to start in September.
