Sony IMX989: How it Works?

Sony IMX989 is a high-resolution image sensor that captures light and converts it into electrical signals. The process uses a matrix of photodiodes and small semiconductor devices that generate a current when exposed to a light source. It has a resolution 50.3 MP and pixels – 1.6 microns. It means it has 50 million photodiodes on its surface. These photodiodes are arranged in a grid pattern, with each photodiode responsible for capturing light from a specific point in the image.

When light enters the image sensor, it is first passed through a color filter array (CFA). The IMX989 uses a Quad Bayer color filter array, which means that adjacent pixels in the sensor are filtered to capture different colors (red, green, and blue). The Quad Bayer CFA is made to improve light sensitivity and reduce noise in images. Once the light has passed through the CFA, it reaches the photodiodes, which convert the light into electrical signals. These signals are then amplified and processed by the image sensor’s integrated circuits to create a digital image. The image produced can trump the quality of Samsung’s biggest sensor, the ISOCELL GN2.
