Views of Vice President of Samsung on optical sensor R & D

Imagingresource released an interview with executives of the Samsung imaging division. Below are some interesting conversations.

Byungdeok NAM, as Samsung's senior vice president and R & D team in charge of Samsung digital imaging, said: "It usually takes one year and a half to two years to develop a sensor. We have a testing tool through which we can try a variety of sensor samples on the same wafer. These samples use different technologies. From so many different sensors, we can find the most powerful, suitable, or optimal one, and then focus on the R & D of the sensor technology. At the beginning, we will prepare a lot of different sensor samples, evaluate them, select one of them, and then focus on R & D ."

Byungdeok NAM looks like this for smartphones and digital cameras: "Well, basically, the operating systems of digital cameras and smart phones are different at present, and mobile phones have stronger processing capabilities, larger memory, semiconductor companies will provide products for smartphone companies, but I think it should be the same for digital cameras. I expect that in one or two years, the digital phase will have the same processor and memory as the smartphone ."
