A Dramatically Different Design
The revolutionary design of Foveon X3 image sensors features three layers of photodetectors. The layers are embedded in silicon to take advantage of the fact that red, green and blue light penetrate silicon to different depths—forming the world's first full-color image sensor.
Until now, you haven't been getting the picture. At least not the complete picture.
That's because revolutionary Foveon X3 technology features the first and only image sensors that can capture red, green and blue light at each and every pixel. All other image sensors record just one color per pixel—that's why Foveon X3 technology delivers increased sharpness, better color detail and greater resistance to unpredictable color artifacts.
From point-and-shoot digital cameras to high-end professional equipment, Foveon X3 technology offers a wealth of benefits to consumers and manufacturers alike. At the same time, it paves the way for other innovations, like new kinds of cameras that record both video and still images without compromising the image quality of either.
