Sony announces spec. changes to CMOS image sensors and imaging modules

Sony Corporation has announced the specification changes to stacked CMOS image sensors, “IMX135” and “IMX134” and imaging modules, “IU135F3-Z” and “IU134F9-Z”, which are scheduled for phased launch starting January 2013.

Sony is to incorporate the existing RGB method into these models, in place of the originally planned ‘RGBW coding’ function, as it was found not to meet certain conditions of Sony's image quality standards.

Specification change:
1. Sony to incorporate RGB method in place of the originally planned ‘RGBW coding’ function
2. Sensitivity Change (typical value F5.6): 92mV (Green pixel) and 127mV (White pixel) ? 84mV (Green pixel)
