Technology Trends Wearable devices that install cameras will become smaller and smaller in the future. Recently, the Sony Conductor Division showed off a new camera with a 1 million pixel, 2mm sensor. Sony claims that this is the world’s smallest 100-megapixel sensor, which can reduce the size of smart watches, other small and lightweight devices, or make the product more distinctive.
Sony shows that 2mm sensor smart devices will become smaller in the future
The sensor captures images up to 1296 pixels, and the sensor itself is only 2mm wide. Sony has a lens for the sensor, measuring 2.6mm. The camera is connected to other parts of the small device through the circuit and the circuit is also very small. Sony reduced the number of wires to 20 pins, which reduced the size of the connector.
The lens is integrated with the sensor and includes a flexible circuit board that weighs less than 1/10 grams.
In addition to the ultra-small size, Sony also said that the new camera module consumes very little energy. If the frame rate is reduced, the power consumption of the camera is only 8mw at the highest. If the frame rate is kept at 60fps, the power consumption is only 55mW at the highest. The camera can capture images at 240fps and supports 3 different high-speed scan modes. If you shoot at the fastest speed, the resolution will be reduced to 324 pixels.
There are two versions of the sensor and lens module, the color version and black and white monochrome version. Sony said sensors are mainly for wearable devices, mobile devices, and small drones.
Although 1 million-pixel resolution is not effective, this sensor can find a market in small devices, such as small smart watches can make video calls, it can also reduce the size of wearable devices, drones.
