Samsung Electronics has developed the first 0.13mm process 2 megapixel CMOS image sensor chip. The 2 megapixel CIS features the smallest 2.8mm pixel size and will operate at 34MHz at 15 fps on a mere 80mW of power.

“Samsung’s new image sensor delivers superior low-light performance, capturing vibrant images at 2 lux, minimum illumination rate of this sensor, exceeding the sensitivity levels of general CMOS-based sensors. To support automatic focus, the sensor is designed to maintain a designated setting even when the incidence angle changes, enabling users to take both close-ups and far away shots with user friendly features that are found on digital cameras.”
