The inventor used a sensor based on graphene, Qijie Wang is an assistant professor in the department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering of NTU (Nanyang Technological University), believed to be the first time a type sensor is developed with pure graphene, the news is the Phys.org.
“While designing this sensor, we have kept current manufacturing practices in mind. This means the industry can in principle continue producing camera sensors using the CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) process, which is the prevailing technology used by the majority of factories in the electronics industry. Therefore manufacturers can easily replace the current base material of photo sensors with our new nano-structured graphene material.”
The new sensor promises to leave photos taken in dark environments much sharper, because the material is a thousand times more sensitive to light than those used in current cameras while consuming less energy.
