Sensors Product Introduction
Image Sensors
CMOS Area Image Sensor
CMOS area image sensors are integrated circuits (ICs) that convert light into an electronic signal. They consist of a photodiode array and multiple CMOS transistors per pixel.
To meet market needs for smaller form factor and higher performance, Toshiba has developed CMOS area image sensors with a 1.4-μm pixel pitch, reduced from the conventional 2.2 μm. The new image sensors are available with a wide range of resolution from VGA to over 10 million pixels. Additionally, these image sensors provide high picture quality thanks to advanced CMOS sensor technologies such as micro-lens and photodiode optimizations. Toshiba's CMOS area image sensors will open up a new possibility for mobile devices like camera cell 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.
