Title
A New Active Pixel Structure With A Pinned Photodiode For Wide Dynamic Range Image Sensors
Abstract
A wide dynamic range CMOS image sensor based on a new active pixel structure with a pinned photodiode is proposed and evaluated with device simulations. The proposed pixel device has a linear and a logarithmic characteristics in low and high illumination region, respectively. The technique of direct detection of photodiode potential leads to a wide logarithmic response compared with the conventional linear-log wide DR image sensor with pinned photo diode.
