Loongson Semiconductor's image sensor and processor R&D department has R&D centers in Japan and the United States, plus more than 2,000 R&D engineers in China, currently providing custom and standard image sensors, contact image sensors, contact image sensor modules, ambient light sensors, distance sensors and touch sensors, and is currently developing a next-generation sensor platform with the goal of advancing noise and speed requirements to higher performance levels.

With strong demand for image sensor products and excellent operational services, the image sensor R&D department achieved solid results this year, with total revenue exceeding more than $3 billion.

In recent years, the application of image sensors in the fields of industry, automobiles, digital electronics consumer markets has become increasingly popular, Loongson Semiconductor Company began to provide mobile phone camera image sensors, and now can provide nearly 150 million image sensors and image processors a year, and the revenue of this business alone has reached more than 2 billion US dollars, plus now the image sensor has also begun to develop business in automobiles, machinery and equipment, consumer electronics, and security equipment, and customers at home and abroad are customizing in large quantities.

Loongson Semiconductor's hard power in image sensors has been among the world's first-class level, and new technologies have been emerging in recent years.

The R&D center in Japan has a very strong technical team in exposure control technology and focusing technology, which is also the technical strength accumulated by Minolta for decades, and the domestic R&D center has advantages in the algorithm and circuit of the image processor, while the R&D center in the United States is very strong in the global shutter technology patent, Loongson Semiconductor Co., Ltd. integrates these technologies and designs the image sensor is optimized to meet the increasingly stringent requirements, and can capture accurate and fast images in static and dynamic scene applications。

In particular, Loongson Semiconductor has added a temporary ultra-cache memory to the image sensor after adopting the stacking technology of the new blue technology company, and due to the additional memory, the sensor can collect data at a faster speed, and the processing speed of the new sensor is nearly two and a half times faster than the previous product.

At the same time, Loongson Semiconductor also uses gallium nitride and silicon carbide power devices in image sensors, which also greatly improves the work efficiency of image sensors, reduces the overall size of passive components, and improves power density.

Not only that, but this also ensures that the image sensor is extremely reliable, and that the image sensor and processor meet or exceed the highest quality standards during the comprehensive performance testing process.

Loongson Semiconductor is now designing and developing high-pixel mobile phone image sensors with high sensitivity, high definition, high dynamic range camera and real-time imaging.

The image sensor requires support for 72 frames per 1080p and 240 frames per second in 720p slow-motion video shooting, and is expected to be taped out in the following year.

Once this image sensor is widely used in many mainstream mobile phones, card players will become a thing of the past, and 1-inch format cameras will feel a lot of pressure.

Because of the huge shipments of smart phones by Huaxing Communication Equipment Company, the huge amount of R&D funds invested by the R&D department can be recovered almost that year, so Yang Jie said such things to Pierre.

Although it may cost tens of millions of dollars to develop such a dedicated image sensor, the technology in this process can be used for other image sensors, and there is no loss at all.

Hearing Yang Jie's words, Pierre was also very excited.

Aihua Technology Company is now an internationally renowned high-tech company, technology and capital are very sufficient, this is still a subsidiary of Huaxing Group Company, and the owner behind this behemoth company personally came to inspect, naturally attaches great importance to Atong Company.

With the strong technical strength support of the entire group company of Huaxing Group and a very clear market positioning, Atong Company is fully integrated into the system of Huaxing Group Company.

Now Panavishin's camera is only rented and not sold, although the rent is very expensive, but it is still affordable, like another camera predator Arley's product, without a lens, without a live radio microphone, the price is more than 600,000 euros, and Zeiss's slightly better lenses are sold for more than 100,000 euros.

In addition to the camera, there is also film, a film costs more than 300 euros, can only shoot 4 minutes, if you shoot 10 minutes of footage, there is 1 minute of final use, that is, 1:10 film ratio to calculate, to shoot a 90-minute film, the film alone needs about 70 to 1 million, and it can't be recycled, the waste rate is extremely high.

In the film era, as soon as the camera was turned on, all it burned was money.

But the boss in front of him asked to push the price of the camera itself to 100,000 US dollars, plus the lens and the recording equipment supporting the company is almost 1340,000 euros, which directly reduces the cost of the camera to one-sixth, which can be said to be a very lethal price.

Pierre believes that this year's presentation at the Dutch Radio and Television Equipment Show in September will definitely cause a huge sensation.

Atong is now also developing and designing a 16mm digital high-definition camera, the positioning is lower, the R&D department has designed a new number of lenses to provide to Sanyangxue Company, because the size of the image sensor is different, so the lens needs to be redesigned.

In the company's plan, Atong will officially launch a 35mm movie camera after participating in the radio and television equipment exhibition in the Netherlands, and will also launch a 16mm digital high-definition camera next year, mainly for small and medium-sized TV stations, advertising companies and independent filmmakers.

In addition to the United States, these domestic TV stations basically use film to shoot TV dramas, while most TV stations in China, Japan, South Korea, and Europe use tape cameras to shoot TV dramas.

It is basically not expensive to shoot a 90-minute tape TV series storage medium, and a TV station's standard definition videotape is only 60 yuan for 60 minutes, and a high-definition tape is not much more expensive.

However, Yang Jie was not interested in tape cameras at all, and went directly to high-end memory cards such as solid-state drives.

This year, the French Thomson Group launched a 4K glue to magnet equipment in the world has been widely used, this set of equipment can be scanned film film to get 8 million pixel resolution of digital film in the digital cinema for playback, this is already the top equipment at this stage, most of the digital cinema is still 2K, that is, 2 million pixel resolution of the picture.

Loongson Semiconductor, a subsidiary of Huaxing Group, has now reached 15 million in resolution of the image sensor, which is already the highest resolution at this stage.

In fact, the actual pixels of this super 35mm outsole image sensor have reached more than 30 million, and the pixels of the sensor have been reduced to 1500 after using a high and low pixel gain structure and white pixel technology.

The theoretical limit of the 35mm film resolution is 30 million pixels, although the pixels of this image sensor are almost half less, but the output picture tolerance is very close to the technical level of film.

Pierre had a great love for film and was initially resistant to Aihua Technology's full switch to digital high-definition cameras, but he was also impressed when he saw the images shot by the new digital cinema lens and edited with editing software.
