⑧ What is an image sensor?

The "role of the eye": converting light into electrical signals to create images.

An image sensor isSemiconductor components that convert light into electrical signals to create images and photographs.is.

It is the heart of devices with "viewing" functions, such as smartphones, digital cameras, and in-car cameras. Fuji Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. is involved in the manufacturing process of these image sensors.Photoresist-related materialsThrough this, we provide behind-the-scenes support for the creation of high-definition images.

Image Sensor Internal Structure

Inside the image sensor,

  • Microlenses that collect light
  • Color filters for separating colors
  • "Photodiode" that converts light into electrical signals

These structures consist of multiple layers of nano- to micro-sized structures.

Mechanism of light conversion

Light entering through the lens is received by countless tiny light-receiving units arranged on the image sensor, and converted into electrical signals containing information about brightness and color.

This signal is processed, allowing us to take pictures and record videos.
