IMAGE SENSOR AND CAMERA AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17835090 titled 'IMAGE SENSOR AND CAMERA AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an image sensor that consists of pixels capable of sensing both visible light and infrared light. The pixels include a first perovskite material that absorbs visible light and a second sensing device that detects infrared light.
- The image sensor includes pixels with a blue, green, and red color filter.
- Some of the pixels have a first perovskite material that absorbs visible light.
- The pixels also have a second sensing device that detects infrared light.
- The first perovskite material and the second sensing device are stacked together in each pixel.
- The image sensor can capture both visible light and infrared light.
Potential Applications
- Surveillance cameras that can capture both visible and infrared light for enhanced security.
- Medical imaging devices that can detect both visible and infrared light for improved diagnostics.
- Automotive cameras that can sense both visible and infrared light for better object detection.
Problems Solved
- Traditional image sensors can only capture visible light, limiting their applications in various fields.
- Separate sensors for visible and infrared light are required, increasing complexity and cost.
- This technology solves the problem of capturing both visible and infrared light using a single image sensor.
Benefits
- Enhanced image quality by capturing both visible and infrared light.
- Simplified design by integrating visible and infrared sensing capabilities in a single sensor.
- Cost-effective solution compared to using separate sensors for visible and infrared light.
Original Abstract Submitted
An image sensor includes a plurality of pixels including a blue pixel, a green pixel, and a red pixel. At least a portion of the plurality of pixels includes a first photo-sensing device including a first perovskite which absorbs at least a portion of light in a visible light wavelength spectrum, and a second photo-sensing device which is stacked with the first photo-sensing device and senses at least a portion of light in an infrared wavelength spectrum.
