Toshiba has thus managed to integrate 8.08 million pixels on a 1/3 inch-surface

Toshiba has recently revealed the world’s smallest 8MP CMOS sensor, which promises to offer smaller pixels, yet keep image quality. Usually, image quality is affected when manufacturers try to cram as many pixels as possible on a small panel.

The company is committed to fixing the issue by developing the world’s densest camera sensor, in which each pixel is separated by its neighboring pixels by only 1.12 micrometers. Toshiba has thus managed to integrate 8.08 million pixels on a 1/3 inch-surface.

The sensors also integrate the back-side illumination technology (BSI). This means that lenses are placed behind the sensor, not in front of it, as in the case of older generation sensors.
The technology improves light sensitivity and light absorption and, at the same time, prevents the small size of the sensor from affecting image quality in a negative manner.
The sensor offers support for 720p HD video content at 30 frames per second and 1080p HD video content at a rate of 60 frames per second.
Toshiba is already testing the new sensor which will go into production in 2012.  The sensor will then be used in the manufacturing process of smartphones and other gadgets.
