Sony has developed the IMX253LLR/LQR optical size Type 1.1 CMOS image sensor with approximately 12.37 M effective pixels for industrial applications.

The CMOS image sensor, which features a global shutter function and a 3.45 µm pixel that is the smallest class in the industry*1, achieves high picture quality, high resolution, and high-speed imaging without distortion. Other features include a trigger mode that arbitrarily controls the storage time using an external trigger signal, an ROI (Region of interest) mode for cropping only the required region for output of image data, and functions required by machine vision cameras.

The IMX255LLR/LQR, a Type 1 CMOS image sensor with approximately 8.95 M effective pixels, uses the same package as the IMX253LLR/LQR to ensure pin compatibility. In addition, the IMX255LLR/LQR can cover 4K pixels, making it suitable not only for industrial applications but also for traffic surveillance and other specialized uses.
