Toshiba Corp. (TOSBF.OB) announced it will launch a Full-HD (1080p), 1.12 micrometer, back side illumination (BSI) CMOS image sensor integrating a color noise reduction circuit. The new image sensor, "T4K71", enables chip and camera module miniaturization and will contribute to achieving thinner smartphones and tablets.
The T4K71 delivers a high speed frame rate of 60 fps at full resolution, essential for smooth, continuous recording of full high-definition video, the company said.
Toshiba Corp. has scheduled to start mass production of the new product in September.
