iPC (Intelligent Panel Controller) Series of Picture Quality Enhancing ICs

CXD4728R,CXD4732R (Under development).

The Sony CXD4728R (iPC-Light) and the CXD4732R (iPC-Pro), which is under development, perform newly-developed picture quality enhancement signal processing for post-scaling full HD and WXGA progressive scan signals. These ICs can achieve high-end picture quality easily and at low cost.

CXD4127GG,CXD4816GG, ICX672AKA/ICX673AKA

High-Sensitivity, High-Resolution Camera Systems for Security Cameras Based on Diagonal 6.0 mm (Type 1/3) 480K/570K-Effective Pixel Color CCD Image Sensors.
In June 2009, Sony released the "Effio" System (CXD4112GG + CXD4813GG), which achieves the high sensitivity and high resolution considered critical in security cameras market.  This article introduces the "Effio-E" System (CXD4127GG + CXD4816GG), which is an entry-level model of the "Effio" Series. By combining this system with the ICX672AKA/ICX673AKA newly-developed CCD image sensors, users can take the lead in the security camera market, which now requires high sensitivity and high resolution.

SLD266ZS

Eight-Beam Laser Diode Achieves Faster Printing and Higher Resolution.  Even higher printing speeds and higher resolution are desired in the high-speed digital copiers in the high-end OA equipment market. Thus an even higher number of beams are needed in the multibeam laser diodes used as the light source in the laser printer. Sony has now developed the SLD266ZS, a new 8-beam laser diode with a 30 µm pitch as an addition to the existing lineup.

ACX405AKM

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.

CXD2820R

The World's First Demodulator LSI for "DVB-T2" Terrestrial Digital Broadcast Standard.

The CXD2820R is a demodulator LSI for high-definition television use conforming to the "DVB-T2" (Digital Video Broadcasting - Terrestrial 2) terrestrial digital broadcast standard adopted in the UK. This LSI is the world's first*1 demodulator LSI for "DVB-T2"*2, compatible with three standards ("DVB-T2", "DVB-T"*3 and "DVB-C"*4) contributing to product miniaturization and reduction of components.

ICX681SQW

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).

ACX405AKM

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.

IMX050CQK

Diagonal 7.59 mm (Type 1/2.3)10.34M-Effective Pixel High-Speed, High-Sensitivity Back-Illuminated CMOS Image Sensor for Consumer Digital Still Cameras.

In June 2008, Sony announced the development of a back-illuminated CMOS image sensor and in January 2009 led the industry in announcing the first commercial release of a back-illuminated CMOS image sensor for digital video cameras. Compared to current products, these devices achieve twice the sensitivity and make it possible to capture high-quality video even in low light.

CXD4122GG

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.
