Samsung ISOCELL image sensor will be in the Galaxy S5

Samsung Electronics announced its new sophisticated pixel technology with regard to CMOS image devices, ISOCELL. This new technology substantially increases light sensitivity and effectively regulates the absorption of electrons, leading to higher colour fidelity even just in poor lighting conditions. ISOCELL improves the image quality and enhances the user experience of premium smartphones as well as tablets which integrate sensors with this exciting new technologies.

"Through advances within pixel and procedure technology, smart phone and pill cameras have made it easier than ever for customers to capture and share beautiful, clear pictures with the world. ISOCELL technology is another innovation which significantly raises the bar in picture quality, and shows Samsung's technology leadership in image sensors with regard to mobile devices."

The caliber of an image sensing unit is determined by the quantity of light that is accurately captured by the person pixels within the sensor variety. With the market pressure to increase camera quality and picture quality, without expanding the camera dimension, the pixels have had to shrink, while improving their overall performance at the same time - a challenging job.

To meet this concern, previous sensor technology advancements focused on increasing the light assimilation of each pixel, and have progressed pixel technology from FSI (Entrance Side Lighting) to BSI (Back again Side Illumination) which places photodiode at the top to maximise photoelectric efficiency. While being extremely effective at the time, this BSI technology also faced limitations in improving image quality because pixel sizes continued to decrease.
