Uporedo sa vešću o velikom
gubitku koji je Panasonic zabeležio u prethodnoj fiskalnoj godini (mada to možda i nije konačno, kao što ni fiskalna godina u Japanu nije još gotova), stižu i neke vedrije vesti iz ove kompanije.
Ovaj put se čini da je Panasonic na putu da ponudi sasvim novi pristup konstrukciji eksternih elemenata senzora, onih kroz koje analogna informacija dolazi do samih receptora:
Panasonic shows micro color splitters that double up image sensor acuity
By Steve Dent posted Feb 4th, 2013 at 9:33 AM
Panasonic has developed a new type of imaging sensor that gets more photons where they need to be by foregoing the use of conventional CMOS debayering filters. Those can reduce sensor effectiveness by blocking 50 to 70 percent of the light, so researchers developed "micro color splitters" to do the job instead, which can separate hues microscopically using refraction. They did it by taking advantage of wave optic principals to create a new type of electronic "deflector" that can analyze and separate light wave frequencies much faster than previous methods. There's almost no loss of light during the process, and such devices can be made using conventional semiconductor fabricating techniques, too. There's no timetable for commercializing the tech, but Panasonic holds 21 domestic and 16 overseas patents on it -- meaning it's likely not just a science project.

PanasonicE sad, meni ovo deluje dovoljno interesantno, ali me istovremeno zanima kako su (i da li su?) rešili problem refraktorske rešetke koja, kada je dovoljno "gusta" (a senzorska je više nego dovoljno gusta) razlaže svetlost na komponente i time reprodukciju boja stavlja pod znak pitanja. U svakom slučaju, dobici nisu beznačajni, pod uslovom da su rešili neke od potencijalnih problema. Moglo bi ovo da bude zaista nešto sasvim novo i upotrebljivo.
