Samsung ISOCell: It uses physical barriers between neighboring pixels to reduce color crosstalk and expand the capability to capture light, compared to conventional backside-illuminated (BSI) image sensors. Now the Korean company has launched 'ISOCELL Plus' which has been developed in cooperation with FujiFilm. It replaces the metal grid at the front of the pixels with a new 'mystery' material, providing even better separation between pixels. This material reduces reflections and light absorption by the barriers between pixels, leading to increased light sensitivity of up to 15% and better color fidelity. According to Samsung the technology allows for the design of sensors with 0.8µm and smaller-sized pixels without a loss in performance. This is 1/3rd the size of the pixels in a typical 1"-type sensor and should allow smartphone sensors with a resolution of 20MP and higher. “We value our strategic relationship with Samsung and would like to congratulat...
