A 1/4-inch High-resolution CCD Image Sensor with Electronic Image Stabilizing Function

Abstract

A 1/4-inch format 560 k pixel IT-CCD image sensor was developed with a high-resolution electronic image stabilizing system that uses a driving method and novel process technology. The new pixel design, process, and on-chip color filter technology keeps almost the same characteristics as the conventional 1/3-inch format 360 k pixel IT-CCD image sensor, in spite of the new sensor's reduced pixel-size.
