Toppan Printing Announces Technology License Agreement with Taiwan-based ProMOS for On-chip Color Filters and Micro Lenses for Image Sensors.Tokyo, Japan, Aug 7, 2007 - (JCN JCN Japan Corporate News JCN Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience JCN Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing JCN Journal of Christian Nursing JCN Job Control Number JCN Journal of Child Neurology JCN joint communications network (US DoD) Newswire) - Toppan Printing Co., Ltd., entered into a Technology License Agreement with ProMOS Technologies Inc. on August 6, 2007 to license to ProMOS its proprietary technologies relating to relating to relate prep → concernant relating to relate prep → bezüglich +gen, mit Bezug auf +acc On-chip Color Filters Color filter An optical element that partially absorbs incident radiation, often called an absorption filter. The absorption is selective with respect to wavelength, or color, limiting the colors that are transmitted by limiting those that are absorbed. [2] and Micro Lenses[3] used for Image Sensors An image sensor is a device that converts a visual image to an electric signal. It is used chiefly in digital cameras and other imaging devices. It is usually an array of charge-coupled devices (CCD) or CMOS sensors such as active-pixel sensors. [1]. Under this Agreement, Toppan will provide ProMOS with technical support including disclosing related technology information and offering technology know-how for the ramp-up of ProMOS's production line planned at the 300mm wafer sized CMOS Image Sensor A CMOS-based chip that records the intensities of light as variable charges similar to a CCD chip. Although initially used in less expensive digital cameras, the quality of CMOS sensors has improved steadily. CMOS sensors have advantages over CCDs. production line in Taiwan. This will enable Toppan to utilize ProMOS's production line for its production of On-chip Color Filters used for 300mm wafer sized Image Sensors at ProMOS's established production line, and will also allow Toppan to supply the color resist to ProMOS. With the global growth of the demand for Image Sensors used in camera phones, digital still cameras, and other items in recent years, the Years, The the seven decades of Eleanor Pargiter’s life. [Br. Lit.: Benét, 1109] See : Time market for Image Sensors is expected to continue to expand in the future. In response to the growing market for Image Sensors, technological requirements are further increasing for On-chip Color Filters formed directly on each light-sensitive element on silicon wafers, and Micro Lenses formed on each color filter to enhance concentration of light. Outline of Agreement - A Technology License Agreement setting forth the terms and conditions of the technology license by Toppan to ProMOS necessary for ramp-up and production of on-chip color filters and micro lenses at ProMOS's 300 mm wafer sized production line. - Toppan will provide ProMOS with technical support including disclosure of technology information and offering advice on ramp-up of the production line. - Toppan is able to utilize ProMOS's production line established with Toppan's technical support. [1] Image Sensor: A sensor that uses photoelectric Converting photons into electrons. When light is beamed onto a metal, electrons are released from its atoms. The higher the light frequency, the more electron energy released. Photonic sensors of all kinds work on this principle. They sense light and cause an electric current to flow. transducers to convert light intensity into an electronic signal. Representative examples include CCD CCD in full charge-coupled device Semiconductor device in which the individual semiconductor components are connected so that the electrical charge at the output of one device provides the input to the next device. and CMOS sensors. [2] On-chip Color Filter: A color filter that is formed directly on the element of an image sensor. [3] Micro Lenses: A lens formed on each pixel of an image sensor. This is used to enhance concentration of light to microscopic pixels. About Toppan Printing Co Ltd. Toppan Printing Co., Ltd. (TSE See Tokyo Stock Exchange. TSE 1. See Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE). 2.
