Sensors Product Introduction
Image Sensors
CMOS Area Image Sensor(Dynastron™)
The area image sensor Dynastron™ is a device that converts light into electrical signals. It is an integrated circuit consisting of photodiode and CMOS transistors.
In its pursuit of further miniaturization and higher performance, Toshiba offers a new Dynastron CMOS image sensor with a pixel pitch of 1.75 μm, reduced from 2.2 μm.
The new image sensor is available in pixel counts ranging from 2.0 M to 8 M.
The Dynastron technology provides high-quality imaging, thanks to the use of a microlens and an optimized array of photodiodes.
The new image sensor opens up new possibilities for mobile handsets such as camera phones.

CCD Linear Image Sensors
CCD Linear Image Sensors is a photosensor where a matrix of many photodiodes and CCDs are integrated. A CCD is a device that transfers the array of electrical charges generated at the photodiodes consecutively to convert them into time-series charges.
Photosensors
Optical sensors include light emitting devices, light receiving ones, and compound ones combining both of them. They are used in a wide range of instruments, mainly for position detection.

Magnetic Sensors
Digital-output magnetic sensors that are switched on and off by sensing the magnetic flux density of a permanent magnet. The digital-output magnetic sensors available in two versions: the highly sensitive TCS10/11 Series and the standard TCS20 Series. These devices are ideal for open/close sensing for a variety of applications, such as cellular phones, notebook PCs, digital cameras and digital video cameras.
