Toshiba Corporation launched "T4K37", a 1.12µm, 13 Megapixel BSI CMOS image sensor.

Intended for Cameras for cell phones, smartphones and tablet PCs, with color noise reduction (CNR), a 1.12µm, 13 Megapixel BSI
CMOS image sensor enters to the mass production today.

Henceforth belonging to Toshiba Portfolio, the integrated CNR circuit makes it possible for the product, fabricated with the industry's smallest class1.12µm pixel process, to achieve the same signal-to-noise ratio as equivalent products fabricated with 1.4µm pixel process.

We also discovered that, the T4K37 also incorporates a high dynamic range (HDR) function that faithfully reproduces dark and bright areas in high contrast images. The product's high frame rate of 30 fps at full resolution reduces delays in imaging, resulting in less shutter lag, and allows continuous shooting.
