Leading the way towards the Sensing Society
With a clear vision for the future, Sony Semiconductor Solutions is developing the image sensors and solutions that will be core technologies to drive a future Sensing Society.
From super-high-definition smartphone cameras and autonomous vehicles, to edge computing, IoT and AI – image sensors are crucial components in the technologies becoming ever-more commonplace in our society. As such, demand for image sensors will continue to grow, with the market exected to expand by 9% (CAGR) between 2022 and 2030.
An independent subsidiary of the Sony Group since 2016, Sony Semiconductor Solutions (SSS) has a long history in the field of image sensor development and previously held a dominant position in the CCD format. The company decided to reorient its focus towards CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) image sensors in the mid 2000s. While the CMOS format had many performance issues, SSS recognized its fascinating development potential and aimed to cultivate “innovative imaging culture”, particularly with cellphone users in mind.
