Introducing High-resolution, Spectacular 4K Video that Has 8.85M Pixels, or Four Times the Resolution of Full HD Into the Home
Sony semiconductor technology opens up a new world of imaging. Aspiring to make world-changing products from semiconductors!
Sony Semiconductor Business Group should take the lead in creating a "4K World"! Top management in the Semiconductor Business Group set in motion a project focusing on bringing breath-taking 4K video into the home.
IMX118CQT - Diagonal 7.76 mm (Type 1/2.3) 18.47M-effective Pixel High-speed Back-illuminated CMOS Image Sensor for Consumer Digital Still Cameras
Sony led the industry by introducing technology that incorporated "Exmor R" to the digital still camera market. Now, Sony is releasing the IMX118CQT back-illuminated 18.47M-effective pixel CMOS image sensor that takes further advantage of that technology.
CXD2850ER - Single-chip IC for European Digital Satellite Broadcasts Reception Optimal for on-board Designs
The CXD2850ER is an ultra compact tuner that contains the RF and digital demodulation functions necessary for receiving European digital satellite broadcasts in a single package. High sensitivity, excellent multipath performance and function to control devices that conform to DiSEqC 2.x (Digital Satellite Equipment Control) make this new product a high-performance, high-functionality and low power IC optimal for not only modules but also on-board designs.
CXD2835ER, CXD2836ER - World's First Demodulator ICs for "DVB-C2" Digital Cable Broadcast Standard
The CXD2835ER and CXD2836ER are the world's first*3 demodulator ICs for "DVB-C2*2" (Digital Video Broadcasting - Cable 2), the next generation digital cable TV broadcast standard for Europe and all over the world and an improvement of the DVB-C*1 standard.
CXD2235AGG - Sony Commercialized the Industry's First*1 NFC Wireless Communication IC Supports Mobile FeliCa
Incorporates a Number of Contactless Technologies that Provide Solutions for Smart Phones. Sony Corporation has succeeded in commercializing the industry's first IC*1, the CXD2235AGG, that complies not only with Near Field Communication (NFC), but also with mobile FeliCa and ISO/IEC 14443 Type A and Type B*2 international standard for proximity contactless communication used in Europe and the USA.
CXA3834M - Backlight LED Driver IC (3D Compliant) with a Built-in Boost-type DC-DC Converter for Edge-lighting LEDs that Features High-precision Dimming
Light emitting diodes (LEDs) are now quickly replacing cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs) as the backlight source in LCD-TVs because they are more energy-efficient, last longer and contain no hazardous materials. The LED backlight in an LCD-TV can be driven either by LEDs placed in rows directly beneath the LCD panel or on the edges surrounding it. The CXA3834M is an LED driver IC optimally designed for driving LEDs used in edge-lighting, a system that is set to grow exponentially as it contains a minimum of the required functions in a high-performance implementation.
ICX687ALA/ ICX687AQA - Diagonal 8.918 mm (Type 1/1.8) 2.83M-Effective Pixel Black-and-White and Color CCD Image Sensors for Industrial Cameras with Full HD Pixel Count, High Sensitivity and Low Smear
The demand for higher pixel counts, compact size and high frame rates is growing stronger in the industrial and traffic monitoring camera markets.
Sony is now releasing the ICX687ALA (black-and-white) and ICX687AQA (color) 2.8M-pixel, 2-channel multi output, high sensitivity and low smear sensors with a full HD pixel count.
ACX433BLN - Transmissive 10.1 cm (4.0-Type) qHD Color LCD Module with Touch Panel Functionality Using "Pixel Eyes" Technology
There is a need for slimmer mobile device LCD modules that also provide high resolution, wide viewing angle and high picture quality.
The currently released ACX433BLN uses the newly developed Pixel Eyes™ "in-cell touch panel" technology that eliminates the need for an external touch panel, reduces the thickness of the module and delivers high picture quality without interfacial reflection.
SLD3237VF/SLD3237VFR - 400 mW Output Blue-Violet Semiconductor Laser Diodes Support BDXL™
To respond to the increasing popularity of HD and 3D content, Sony has now developed the industry's first 400 mW pulsed optical output laser diode, the SLD3237VF. This high-output blue-violet laser diode supports high-speed recording for the new "BDXL™" large-capacity standard, which increases the Blu-ray disc recording capacity to 128 GB.
