Samsung unveils new image sensor with industry’s smallest pixel size

27 July 2022 News

Samsung Electronics has introduced the 200 MP ISOCELL HP3 image sensor which has the industry’s smallest 0,56 µm pixels.

The image sensor, with a 12% smaller pixel size than the predecessor’s 0,64 μm, packs 200 million pixels in a 1/1.4” optical format, which is the diameter of the area that is captured through the camera lens. This means that the ISOCELL HP3 can enable an approximately 20% reduction in camera module surface area, allowing smartphone manufacturers to keep their premium devices slimline.

The ISOCELL HP3 comes with a Super QPD auto-focusing solution, meaning that all the sensor’s pixels are equipped with auto-focusing capabilities. In addition, Super QPD uses a single lens over four adjacent pixels to detect the phase differences in both horizontal and vertical directions. This allows for a more accurate and quicker auto-focusing system.

“Samsung has continuously led the image sensor market trend through its technology leadership in high-resolution sensors with the smallest pixels,” said JoonSeo Yim, executive vice president of sensor business team at Samsung Electronics. “With our latest and upgraded 0,56 μm 200MP ISOCELL HP3, Samsung will push on to deliver epic resolutions beyond professional levels.”
