Starway (Shanghai) Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. (stock abbreviation: Starway, stock code: 688213), officially launched the Star Light (SL) Series 8MP image sensor with a large target area for high-end intelligent security applications – SC880SL.
In recent years, with the large-scale commercialization of 4K ultra-high-definition technology, the security industry has ushered in a new growth point for its development. According to the TSR 2022 report, 8MP (4K) resolution CIS has grown significantly in recent years. It is estimated that by 2026, the global security CIS market will reach 50 million 8MP shipments. In addition, there are still many complex scene requirements to be considered in the application of technology, which have prompted further iterative upgrades of security CIS imaging performance.
The new product is based on the SmartClarity-2 technology upgraded by Smartway with full performance and the innovative SFCPixel patented technology. It adopts the BSI process combined with the large target surface design, which greatly improves the sensitivity of the product. At the same time, SC880SL is equipped with Smartway’s advanced near-infrared sensitivity NIR+ technology, which can achieve excellent night vision imaging performance even in ultra-low light environments. In addition, with the blessing of Smartway’s innovative technology and ultra-low noise peripheral reading circuit and other superior technologies, the high-temperature imaging performance of the product has also been greatly improved, striving to empower 4K high-end intelligent security applications with excellent imaging quality.
Large target area combined with cutting-edge imaging technology, showing the strength of low-light imaging
In order to meet the all-weather and all-time application requirements of security monitoring, night vision imaging performance has become one of the hottest technological breakthroughs in the security circle. The newly launched SC880SL of Smartway adopts a 1/1.2″ large target surface design based on the BSI process. The photosensitive area per pixel is larger, and it can present images with higher brightness and clearer details in dark light environments. According to According to the test, the SNR1s of SC880SL can be as low as 0.18lux, which can achieve the low-light imaging performance comparable to that of Stack process image sensors of the same specification.
In addition, relying on SmartClarity-2 technology and innovative SFCPixel patented technology, SC880SL has excellent high-performance imaging performance. Compared with the same standard Stack process image sensor in the industry, SC880SL’s full-well electrons have greatly increased by 33%, and the maximum signal The noise ratio has been increased by 2dB, which can empower high-end security smart vision applications with excellent low-light imaging performance.
Advanced near-infrared sensitivity NIR+ technology achieves super starlight high-definition night vision images
For the ultra-low-illumination near-infrared fill-in light scene for security applications, the SC880SL, a super-star-level large-scale image sensor, is equipped with the advanced near-infrared sensitivity NIR+ technology of Smartway, and the QE quantum efficiency in the 850nm band can reach 38%. , the QE quantum efficiency in the 940nm band can reach 24%, and it can still achieve excellent night vision imaging performance even in ultra-low light environments.
Upgraded process and innovative technology blessing, high temperature imaging quality has been greatly improved
In order to further improve the imaging performance of CIS in high-temperature application scenarios, SC880SL upgrades the barrier layer SiN used for CT etching from the traditional material to high-stress SiN film quality through process upgrading and optimization, which greatly improves the product’s high-temperature performance. lower image quality. At the same time, through Smartway’s ultra-low noise peripheral reading circuit technology, the generation of dark current and white spots is greatly suppressed. Compared with the previous technology products, the dark current of SC880SL has been reduced by 35%, and the DSNU has been greatly reduced by 50%, so that the camera can output high-quality images even in high temperature environments. In addition, SC880SL can also support dynamic line overlapping HDR (Staggered HDR) image output, and the dynamic range can be increased to more than 100dB.
Ms. Zhang Peiling, Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) of Smartway, said: “In recent years, the growth rate of the smart security industry has been steady, the vertical application fields are flourishing, and diversified demands are constantly being released. Smartway is committed to exploring more potential needs of security customers, Utilize high-performance technology products to accurately reach customers’ actual applications. The new SC880SL, a 4K super star-level image sensor with a large target area, is the first 1/1.2″ 8MP image sensor product of Smartway, which enhances the product’s light sensitivity through a large target area At the same time, it has given full play to Smartway’s consistent technical advantages in terms of imaging performance such as night vision full-color and near-infrared. In addition, the excellent high-temperature imaging quality brought about by process upgrading and optimization also provides SC880SL with stronger market core competitiveness, striving to empower the development of smart security applications with excellent high-performance imaging performance. “
