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 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.
