Sony launches 64MP Lytia 610 sensor with novel pixel design, faster readout

Sony Semiconductor Solutions has unveiled a new 64-megapixel mobile image sensor, the Lytia 610, featuring a redesigned pixel architecture that the company says substantially improves resolution and autofocus performance. The 1/2-type CMOS sensor, scheduled for mass production shipments later this month, incorporates what Sony describes as the industry’s first mass-produced RB2×2 On Chip Lens (OCL) structure, combining different lens configurations for green versus red and blue pixels.
