Planet82 debuts nano full-color imaging sensor

Jan. 23, 2007 — Planet82 announced the debut of their full-color imaging sensor, SMPD (Single carrier Modulation Photo Detector) at Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2007. Planet82 showcased its VGA-color, SMPD chip for taking images in the dark without a flash.

Planet82 is working to develop a partnership for the mass production of the SMPD. Planet82Eis in the process of conducting tests for a number of SMPD-based applications, including those for Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras, mobile phones, digital still cameras, night vision, and rearview-sensing automobiles.APlanet82 is also exploring SMPD-based applications in healthcare, the military and environmental industries. With the SMPD, manufacturers can build a new generation of products that take clearer, crisper images in low-light situations without the distortion or energy-drain of a flash.
