Panasonic's new organic CMOS sensor won't be in your next camera but it's cool anyway

Organic chips, but not the kind with sea salt. On the left the sensor is used in plain old visible light mode. By changing the electric charge applied to the chip, visible and near-infrared light arecaptured simultaneously, shown on the right. Panasonic has been developing organicsensors for a while now and has just announced a new breakthrough: an organic CMOS chip that can capture visible and near-infrared (NIR) light simultaneously without sacrificing resolution. There are sensors available n...
