We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "CMOS image sensor",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Image partnership draws on optical research from
Silicon Hive, which we summarised at the time by saying "Silicon Hive will enhance its HiveFlex ISP 2200 processor's instruction set for Apical Imaging's engines, resulting in area and power-efficient silicon designs".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Simulation software aids optoelectronics design from
Synopsys: "Software links with new hardware to enable up to 20 times faster electromagnetic simulation of optoelectronic devices such as CMOS image sensors".
In January 2008, we covered the news from MagnaChip Semiconductor
concerning its MC515ER
- take a look at Image sensor suits low-light applications
which says: "The MC515ER goes beyond standard Bayer RGB devices by offering on chip pixel correction and advanced de-noising".
Take a look also at the news release from Cypress Semiconductor, CMOS image sensor makes it to the silver screen,
as well as CMOS image sensors made with smaller pixels from Tower Semiconductor,
and Image sensor suits machine vision applications from Cypress Semiconductor.
