The inventor of the CMOS camera sensor just won the Nobel Prize of Engineering
The godfather of the active-pixel CMOS sensor, Eric R Fossum, PhD, has been awarded the 2026 Charles Stark Draper Prize for ...
Did you ever think that you'd see a CMOS sensor measuring 202 x 205 mm? That's 7.95 x 8.07 inches to our fine imperial friends. Its impressive size -- about 40 times larger than Canon's largest ...
The engineer that developed the CMOS sensor now found in a majority of cameras and smartphones may have just discovered the next generation of camera sensors. Eric R. Fossum and the Dartmouth College ...
Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corp. has announced the commercialization of the IMX487, a 2/3-type CMOS image sensor for industrial equipment. The global shutter CMOS image sensor is compatible with the ...
Conventional CMOS image sensors are not suitable for low-light applications such as fluorescence, since large pixels arranged in a matrix do not support high readout speeds. A new optoelectronic ...
A pioneer in digital imaging, Sony announced its first stacked CMOS sensors for full-frame cameras back in April 2017 on the flagship Sony A9 camera. A stacked CMOS sensor captures significantly more ...
Mainstream CMOS chipmaking technology is becoming more competitive for capturing light in digital cameras. It's swept the high-end SLR market. Stephen Shankland worked at CNET from 1998 to 2024 and ...

Eric Fossum earns the prestigious Draper Prize for pioneering the CMOS image sensor
Image: Draper Eric Fossum, the inventor of the modern CMOS image sensor and a longtime friend of DPReview, was recently ...
Sony has unveiled a new type of stacked CMOS sensor that uses "two-layer transistor pixels" to double the light gathering capability. Typical image sensors have the light-sensitive photodiodes and ...
CMOS (complimentary metal-oxide semiconductor) imaging technologies arrived on the scene about the same time as CCD (charge-coupled device) imagers. However, it has been only within the last decade ...
