NEC has developed an uncooled IR image sensor that incorporates high-purity semiconducting carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in the IR detection area. The company claims the new sensor achieves more than three ...

Single junction type (a) and the proposed double junction type (b) solar cells are compared with the conventional TANDEM type (c) and the proposed face-to-face type (d) multi-junction connections. A ...

Vision systems are rapidly becoming ubiquitous, driven by big improvements in image sensors as well as new types of sensors. While the sensor itself often is developed using mature-node silicon, ...

The soul of a digital camera is its sensor—to determine image size, resolution, low-light performance, depth of field, dynamic range, lenses, and even the camera’s physical size, the sensor is key. An ...

Thanks to new processes, architectures, and technology advances, CMOS image sensors are finding homes well beyond the mobile phone and digital camera markets and moving into a wider range of products, ...

Autonomous cars often proudly claim to be fitted with a long list of sensors—cameras, ultrasound, radar, lidar, you name it. But if you’ve ever wondered why so many sensors are required, look no ...
