IMAGE SENSING DEVICE AND IMAGING DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18511772 titled 'IMAGE SENSING DEVICE AND IMAGING DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME

The abstract describes an image sensing device with pixels that respond to incident light to produce photocharges. Each pixel includes a first sub-pixel and a second sub-pixel, with the first sub-pixel being either a color sub-pixel or a white sub-pixel, and the second sub-pixel being the other option.

  • Pixels in the image sensing device respond to incident light to produce photocharges.
  • Each pixel consists of a first sub-pixel and a second sub-pixel.
  • The first sub-pixel can be a color sub-pixel or a white sub-pixel.
  • The second sub-pixel is the opposite of the first sub-pixel in terms of color sensing capabilities.

Potential Applications: - Digital cameras - Smartphone cameras - Surveillance systems - Medical imaging devices

Problems Solved: - Enhanced color sensing capabilities - Improved image quality - Better low-light performance

Benefits: - Accurate color reproduction - Higher quality images - Improved performance in various lighting conditions

Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Image Sensing Technology for Enhanced Color Reproduction This technology can be used in digital cameras, smartphones, surveillance systems, and medical imaging devices to improve color accuracy and overall image quality. The market implications include increased demand for devices with superior color sensing capabilities.

Questions about Image Sensing Devices: 1. How does this technology improve color reproduction in images? This technology enhances color reproduction by allowing pixels to selectively sense different colors within the incident light, resulting in more accurate and vibrant images.

2. What are the potential commercial uses of image sensing devices with advanced color sensing capabilities? Image sensing devices with advanced color sensing capabilities can be utilized in various industries such as photography, healthcare, security, and consumer electronics to improve image quality and color accuracy.


Original Abstract Submitted

An image sensing device includes a plurality of pixels, each pixel configured to respond to incident light to produce photocharges corresponding to the incident light and include a first sub-pixel and a second sub-pixel surrounding the first sub-pixel. The first sub-pixel is one of a color sub-pixel configured to selectively sense first color light within the incident light and a white sub-pixel configured to sense the incident light at different colors; and the second sub-pixel is the other of the color sub-pixel and the white sub-pixel.
