before you know it, Foven X3 has been born for ten years, 2000, when it has started the development of related, and theoretical study has been completed, in 2002, the first block Foven X3 debut. We know that traditional sensors for digital cameras can capture only one color per pixel (red, green or blue), and then through software synthesis of color. Suitable horse Foveon X3 sensor is not the case, it is the world's first capture all in one pixel sensor array of colours.
optoelectronic coupled devices can only be traditional induction intensity, not induction color information, need induction color information through color filter, called Bayer filter. But Foveon X3 induction by different depth of color on a pixel, the surface layer of induction blue, second level sensors can be green, the third layer induction red. It is based on the effect of Silicon on the absorption of light at different wavelengths to achieve a pixel sensors all color information.
This innovative technology can provide a more sharp image, better color, compared to the previous image sensors, X3 is the first with built-in silicon optical sensor to detect the color of. X3 cancel has traditional CCD above of low pass filter, can reduce sensor of complex degree, in addition also can makes photoelectric induction devices received to more of light, traditional of using low pass filter sensor Shang of filter light mirror to filter to three species color in the of two species (respectively by red, and green, and blue light), therefore can said it received to of light only one-third strength, and two-thirds of light was filter light mirror filter off has. But Foveon X3 each pixel can receive all three colors of light, so you can say it's more efficient. X3 get more sharp, color rich of photos, so X3 can get higher-quality photos than other sensor.
