Thank CTOnews.com netizens Lunliu for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, December 31, according to the Nikkei News, Sony will provide a new generation of image sensors for Apple's iPhone 15 series. Sony Semiconductor Solutions (Sony Semiconductor Solutions) has successfully developed new image sensors and began shipping them to Apple and other smartphone makers after mass production at the Nagasaki plant.

Equipping Sony's sensors in the iPhone 15 series is crucial for Sony to consolidate its competitive edge in high-definition photography. Samsung Electronics has launched a number of camera sensors, shaking Sony's position in image sensors.

Compared with traditional sensors, CTOnews.com learned that Sony's new sensor can double the saturation signal level (saturation signal level) of each pixel. That is, the sensor can capture more light and reduce the problem of overexposure or underexposure in some scenes. Even the subject can clearly photograph the human face in a strong backlight environment.

Sony made the breakthrough using a new semiconductor architecture that places photodiodes and transistors in separate substrate layers, allowing sensors to add more photodiodes to the dedicated layer.

Last year Sony controlled 44 per cent of the global share of CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductors) image sensors, while Samsung ranked second with 18.5 per cent, according to Omdia, a UK analysis firm. But Sony's share has been falling in recent years.
