[DEMO Spring 2010] Today, InVisage Technologies announced QuantumFilm, touted to be the world's first commercial quantum dot-based image sensor that delivers 4x higher performance and 2x higher dynamic range than regular sensors for mobile handset cameras. The technology is based on quantum dots, semiconductors with higher light-capture properties: the regular silicon-based image sensors used today for all digital cameras capture on average 25 percent of light, where QuantumFilm captures between 90-95 percent, allowing to shoot better pictures in low light conditions, and enabling higher quality for tiny form factor such as camera phones.
