Contact Image Sensors (CIS)

Overview

Contact Image Sensors (CIS) has a line of image sensors across the field of view. It also includes a GRIN lens (Rod Lens) for 1:1 image quality and LED illumination. Comparing to conventional line scan camera systems, a CIS has improved image quality with reduced distortion, all in a compact design with up to 600dpi resolution.

Main Features of Mitsubishi Electric Contact Image Sensors

• 1.High-performance digital output

  Based on know-how accumulated over many years, we have originally developed high-speed, high-functional AFE and ASIC for CIS.

• 2.One of the world's fastest scan speed as a single output

  We have originally developed key parts, such as high-SNR CMOS sensor ICs with an extremely efficient illumination.
  Maximum speed of 20μs/line (banknote applications)
  Maximum speed of 20μs/line (copy machine applications)

• 3.Combination of high efficiency and multi-color light sources possible

  White light source with higher brightness and lower power consumption (copy machine applications)
  Visible (RGB), infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) light source combinations possible (banknote applications)

• 4.Various image-processing functions enhanced

  Improved operation ease thanks to enhanced image-processing functions such as pixel interpolation, color reproduction processing (NCM) and drop out color.

• 5.Complies with Europe's RoHS

  Our CIS satisfy regulations for the applicable six substances, making them products that can be used anxiety-free.

* RoHS directive. Restricts the use of six hazardous substances in electronic and electrical equipment sold in countries of the EU from July 2006.
