Sony Unveils 50MP Mobile Sensor With HDR Power

• Delivering power saving, high-image quality 4K shooting and improved night view and outdoor imaging performance

Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation (Sony) announced the launch of the L910, an approximately 50-effective megapixel image sensor for mobile applications that delivers 100 dB high dynamic range imaging with low power consumption.

This is one of the first LYTIA lineup with the LOFIC structure. It also features the new HDR technology along with the logic circuit technology that helps in reducing the random noise in dark areas of images. These technologies offer high-quality imaging by reducing highlight blowout in bright areas and noise in dark areas, compared to conventional products. Additionally, it also offers HDR video recording at 4K, 60 fps, while maintaining low power consumption with optimized circuit design.

In recent years, the need for camera functionality that can provide stable, high-quality imaging in various environments continues to grow along with the popularity of video production and live streaming. Consequently, image sensors require expanded dynamic range and improved power efficiency.

Therefore, the new sensor combines the expanded saturation capacity enabled by the LOFIC structure with the new HDR and circuit technology. It achieves a dynamic range of 100 dB with a single exposure, enabling imaging

with rich gradations from highlights to shadows and minimal noise. Compared to multi-exposure HDR technologies, this design help suppresses motion blur and flicker when shooting moving subjects, since the synthesizing process is not needed. Also, Sony's proprietary circuit design reduces power consumption, enabling high-quality video recording at 4K, 60 fps even when shooting in HDR.
