Glimpse into the future: Sony working on organic sensor with “foveon” alike tech

A newly published Sony patent discloses what might become the future of sensors in a couple of years:

1) It describes an organic sensor (it uses organic semiconductor material to capture photons)
2) Every pixel has three layers of organic material. One top it captures the green light information, below it the Blue and at the bottom the Red light.

So basically this is a more advanced version of Sigma’s Foveon tech. Sony writes:

요약

소니의새로운특허가 출원되었으며 그것은 장래의센서를보여주고있다. 그것은 오가닉센서(유기센서)를설명하고있으며 시그마의 Foveon보다고급적으로보인다. 나는 이것을 장래의소니바디에서보려면 몇년은걸릴것같다고생각하고있다.

음..오가닉센서(유기센서)는 타사에서도 작업중이긴한데 소니의 오가닉센서도 궁금해지네요.

“Since the chrominance signal, R, G, and B, of 3 colors is acquired by each light-receiving part, a high resolution image is generable by high sensitivity. “

In short the advanatages are:

1) Every pixel contains nearly 100% of the color information
2) Compared to traditional Bayer layout sensors you can a) have much larger pixels at same resolution or b) Much higher resolution at same pixel size.

I guess it will take a couple of years before we see this on a real Sony photocamera.
