QuantumFilm Technology
In the early days of photography, film-based cameras were used to capture our memories. In recent years, charge coupled devices (CCD) cameras have replaced film with silicon and ushered digital cameras into the spotlight. As cameras became increasingly more portable, the CMOS camera was developed, which also utilizes silicon for the collection of light. This is what we use today.
QuantumFilm was developed by InVisage after years of research under the guidance of notable scientist and InVisage CTO Ted Sargent. It is based on quantum dots -- semiconductors with unique light-capture properties. It works by capturing an imprint of a light image, and then employing the silicon beneath it to read out the QuantumFilm and turn it into versatile digital signals. InVisage spent three years engineering the quantum dot material to produce highly-sensitive image sensors that integrate with standard CMOS manufacturing processes. The first application of QuantumFilm will enable high pixel count and high performance in tiny form factors, breaking silicon's inherent performance-resolution tradeoff."
