# Ultra-Fast Organic Camera Sensors Fujifilm Japan Unveiled a Faster and Less Expensive Sensor By Joey Haar | Published 2017-02-15 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fujifilm-japan References: [digitaltrends](http://www.digitaltrends.com/photography/fujifim-faster-organic-sensor/?utm_source=feedly&utm_medium=webfeeds) & [fujifilm](http://www.fujifilm.com/news/n130611.html) [Fujifilm](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xh2s) Japan recently announced that it will release a new organic sensor that's not just faster than anything that the brand has released before, but also more cost effective than previous technology. According to the press release, the new [organic CMOS sensor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/photon-detection) will have a speed of 0.5 MHz, a full digit higher than previous sensor attempts. Organic CMOS sensors use a layer of photoconductive film on top of a layer of circuits, as compared to traditional sensors that use a silicon photodiode. Experts aver that the two step process of organic sensors leads to more accurate color representation and better performance in low light. Fujifilm Japan claims that its new sensor will thus have a fuller dynamic range as well as enhanced sensitivity that will prevent highlight clipping and capturing richer, darker colors. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.8/10 - Popularity: 7% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/photography) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Ultra-fast Camera Sensors:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop high-speed camera sensors with improved color representation and low light performance using organic CMOS technology. - **Cost-effective Sensor Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create affordable sensor solutions by leveraging organic CMOS technology for improved performance and reduced manufacturing costs. - **Enhanced Dynamic Range and Sensitivity:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design sensors with fuller dynamic range and enhanced sensitivity to capture richer, darker colors while preventing highlight clipping. ### Where This Applies - **Camera and Imaging:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate organic CMOS technology into camera systems to offer faster, more accurate color representation and improved low light performance. - **Technology Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate organic CMOS sensors in manufacturing processes to produce cost-effective sensor solutions with enhanced performance. - **Photography and Videography Equipment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop camera equipment with organic CMOS sensor technology to provide users with enhanced dynamic range, sensitivity, and improved image quality. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Advanced Everyday Camera Sensors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sony-lytia-901.md) - [40FPS Mirrorless Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xh2s.md) - [Two-Layer Transistor Phone Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sony.md) - [Mirrorless High-Speed Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xh2-camera.md) - [Lightweight Fixed-Lens Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gfx100rf-camera.md) - [Vintage-Modern Sleek Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fujifilmxe5.md) - [Ultra-Fast Multi-Frame Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scarf-1.md) - [Distortion-Free Futuristic Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/global-shutter.md) - [High-Resolution Mirrorless Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fujifilm-1.md)
