Too much greedy for Samsung the opportunity to establish itself also in the automotive market. Impossible not to even make an attempt to enter what could be a splendid flywheel to take off sales and turnover (which in any case do not struggle at all), especially if the market in question has taken – as it did – the direction of a greater mix between mechanical efficiency and technology. Tesla cars have for many years been the mirror of how many cameras can find a place in a car: there are front and back, on the doors and on the license plate, not to mention the ones that keep an eye on the driver for monitor fatigue and avoid any sleep strokes.
What is Samsung is targeting the automotive video cameras market, at a time when an ever-increasing number of cars are equipped with an equally larger number of cameras. Tenter & agrave; to do so through the new ISOCELL Auto 4AC, Samsung's first solution optimized thinking specifically about the automotive sector that the company considers perfect in the guise of Surround View Camera, therefore to create 360-degree views, and to be applied on the front and rear bumpers in order to scan who precedes us and who follows us. The sensor just announced & egrave; little more; small in size compared to most of those used on smartphones (1/3.7 inches) but boasts a peculiar technology called CornerPixel.
The CornerPixel technology of the Samsung ISOCELL Auto 4AC sensor, like Sony's competitors, adopts a structure designed to perform at its best in rapid transitions between zones overexposed and underexposed, situations that the classic sensors suffer not a little. “ In the area of a single pixel – explains Samsung – there are two photodiodes , one from 3 micrometers for poorly lit scenarios, the other from 1 micrometer for more environments; bright & quot ;. The use of two photodiodes that capture images with different exposures at the same instant guarantees a sensitivity; up to 120 decibels as well as HDR with minimal motion blur, & quot; allowing for smoother transitions; fluid between dark areas and bright areas, transferring more details on the way to go, '' concludes Samsung.
The Seoul-based company's solution to minimize flicker is interesting.typical of LED light over 90 Hz, typically that of headlights, street lamps and other light sources that can be encountered on the streets: in these occasions the exposure time of the photodiode is longer; small pu & ograve; be stretched to prevent the pulsing LED light from flickering on the display attached to the sensor. Samsung's ISOCELL Auto 4AC integrates an image processor (ISP), like other sensors for automotive use. compliant with AEC-Q100 grade 2 and therefore has no problem working in a very wide range of temperatures ranging from -40 to 125 degrees centigrade.
The ISOCELL Auto 4AC sensor is; already in production , so it could soon be seen at work: the Korea Economic Daily claims that Samsung has a contract worth over $ 400 million to supply the & quot; most & ugrave; major US electric vehicle manufacturer & quot; photo modules that replace the rear-view mirrors. All the clues point in Tesla's direction while the vehicle on which Samsung's ISOCELLs would be used could be the Cybertruck, provided that in the US the equivalent of the Highway Code contemplates cameras instead of rear-view mirrors.
