Funding Raised · Espoo, Uusimaa · founded 2006$2.5Mraised▾
Pixpolar develops image sensors based on a patented technology based on the Modified Internal Gate (MIG) pixel architecture. The sensor combines visible and near infrared light to increase the image sharpness and detection range. This enables the sensors to have superior low light performance compared to other image sensors. The manufacturing of the image sensors is identical to existing CMOS processes and enables the MIG pixel matrix to be incorporated in a single chip (as the sensor). The sensor has been envisioned for applications in thermal imaging, spark detection, space application and scientific imaging.
