World’s First 100+ Megapixel CCD Sensor
Ladies and Gentlemen - the future has arrived:
DALSA develops 100+ megapixel CCD.
DALSA Semiconductor has today announced that it has developed the worlds first sensor with a total resolution of over 100 million pixels. To be more specific this single sensor, developed for astronomy, has 10,560 x 10,560 pixels, 111 million in total. The active area of the sensor measures approximately four by four inches and has a 9 µm pixel pitch. This sensor has been developed in conjunction with Semiconductor Technology Associates for the US Naval Observatory.
It’s going to be truly interesting to see just long it’s going to take for a sensor of this caliber to hit the pro photography market…
