US Smart Sensors Industry Overview
Infineon Technologies AG, Microchip Technology Inc., Analog Devices, Inc., TE Connectivity, STMicroelectronics, Eaton Corporation plc, Honeywell International Inc., and others are among the leading competitors in the United States Smart Sensors Market. The presence of multi-national corporations such as ABB, Siemens, Honeywell, etc., makes the market concentrated. Sensor technology also requires high initial investment along with high continuous research and development of the product.
- December 2021 - Sony Semiconductor Solutions developed a stacked CMOS image sensor with two-layer transistor pixel, doubling saturation signal level, widening dynamic range, and reducing noise relative to conventional image sensors. Such developments in sensor designs are optimized to provide fast, clear, and high-quality video in mission-critical automotive applications' complex and demanding environments.
- July 2021 - Samsung launched the ISOCELL Auto 4AC, its first image sensor that is tailor-made for cars, intended to be used as a reverse camera or (on more advanced systems) to power surround view monitors. It focuses on practical things like a high dynamic range (120 dB) and LED flicker mitigation. They are based on what Samsung calls CornerPixel. This technology combines two photodiodes per pixel - one 3.0 µm for low-light operation and one 1.0 µm placed in the corner (hence the name) that would be used for bright environments.
