Diagonal 7.763 mm (Type 1/2.3) 14.2M-Effective Pixel High-Resolution Consumer Digital Still Camera CCD Image Sensor Supports 720p Moving Picture and 1/4 Resolution Still Picture Imaging.

In addition to the needs for even higher resolution in the consumer compact digital still camera market, there are also increasing needs for improved high ISO sensitivity and wider dynamic range. Sony has now developed unique fine pixel fabrication technologies and has used these to create the ICX681SQW 1.43 µm unit pixel CCD image sensor, which features the industry's smallest*1 unit pixel. At the same time as increasing resolution by increasing the number of pixels, Sony has also achieved excellent imaging characteristics. This CCD image sensor also achieves high-definition television equivalent (720p) video imaging and high-sensitivity continuous still imaging (3.55M pixels at 5.389 frame/s).

Transmissive LED Backlit 7.54 cm (3.0-Type) LCD Module Features the 3:2 Aspect Ratio Used by 35mm Film and Digital Single-Lens Reflex Cameras and Achieves an Extremely Wide Viewing Angle.

The ACX405AKM is a 7.54 cm 3:2 aspect ratio active matrix panel module with a built-in low-temperature polysilicon transistor driver with a dedicated backlight. This module adopts the Sony-developed VSPEC III™ wide viewing angle technology, which has been well-received in the digital still camera display market and achieves ultrafine pixels with 1.03M dots (720 × RGB × 480) with the same 3:2 aspect ratio as the images taken by 35mm film cameras and digital single-lens reflex cameras. This module also improves the viewing angle from diagonal directions over current VSPEC III™ models.

Second-Generation Imaging System IC for High-Speed Digital Still Cameras Supports "Exmor R"*1.

Sony is committed to bringing to even more people the high-speed imaging world*2 with high-speed imaging for selecting a single instant and high-speed video that captures motion that otherwise could not be seen. Towards this end, Sony has now developed the CXD4122GG, a second-generation camera system IC for digital still cameras that achieves power savings and reduces total system costs. The CXD4122GG supports the IMX050CQK*3 back-illuminated CMOS image sensor, allowing Sony to provide the IMX050CQK and CXD4122GG combination as the best solution for high-speed camera systems.

Due to the recent improvements in the communication infrastructure and falling prices for data storage, it is now possible for ordinary users to handle large amounts of data on cellular phones. Due to these developments, there are now increasing demands for imaging performance that exceeds the framework of existing cellular phone camera functionality, including demands for even higher picture quality and even higher resolution in both still and moving images. Sony has now developed their product line 5M-pixel, 8M-pixel, and 13M-pixel CMOS image sensors with a 1.4 µm unit pixel, the industry's smallest*1, and that provide full HD video imaging (1080p at 30 frame/s). Due to improvements in process technology and the development of a new condensing structure, Sony can now provide diverse solutions that achieve a S/N ratio even higher than current Sony products.
