Eastman Kodak provides a breakthrough in Image Capture technique with the industry’s first 1.4 Micron, 5 Mega-pixel High-ISO CMOS Sensor. The new KODAK KAC-05020 Image Sensor integrates the innovative Color Filter Pattern technology with company’s new TRUESENSE CMOS pixel to achieve a new and improved level of performance. The sensor enables production of clear high-quality images at a new level of resolution using significantly smaller pixels where other small-pixel sensors fail.

“Camera phones and other small-pixel consumer imaging devices often suffer from poor performance, especially under low light conditions. To manufacture sensors that utilize these very small pixels – only two to three times the wavelength of visible light – we needed to challenge everything we knew about pixel and sensor design,” said Chris McNiffe, General Manager of Kodak’s Image Sensor Solutions business.

The KAC-05020 offers High ISO sensitivity of 3200 with support for 720p video at 30fps. It reaches its maximum resolution in popular ¼ inch optical format at 5 Mega-pixel of resolution. Through an alliance with the Texas Instruments’ OMAPTM and OMAP-DM solutions, Kodak enriches KAC-05020 with digital image stabilization, rapid auto-focus, red-eye reduction, and facial recognition functionality.

The company will display the KAC-05020 at the GSMA Mobile World Congress held Feb 11 – 14 in Barcelona, Spain.
