Increase The Brightness In Low Light Photos With Panasonic Technology

Engineers at Panasonic have developed a new kind of technology that can double the brightness of color photographs taken in low light conditions. What this means is that you no longer have to keep adjusting your flash while clicking photographs in an indoor restaurant. The technology uses micro color splitters in place of color filters in image sensors. Until now, the image sensors would create color photograph using RGB filters for every pixels. However this approach results in about 50-70% loss in light.

The new technology developed by Panasonic eliminates the color filters so light is captured without loss. This allows the sensitivity of the image sensors to be doubled regardless its type (aka CCD, CMOS or BSI). The biggest advantage of the technology is that the devices can be manufactured using current semiconductor fabrication processes. Also special materials are required, which means the technology can find mainstream use quickly.

    That means low ISO(image sensor sensitivity) setting in low light. Which further means low nosie in low light with right exposure. This is something much sought after. Hope there wouldn't be any sacrifices on other parameters for this to achive.
