Specification changes to Stacked CMOS Image Sensors, “IMX135” and “IMX134” and Imaging Modules, “IU135F3-Z” and “IU134F9-Z”

Sony Corporation (“Sony”) announced specification changes to Stacked CMOS Image Sensors, “IMX135” and “IMX134” and Imaging Modules, “IU135F3-Z” and “IU134F9-Z”*, which are scheduled for phased launch starting January 2013.*

Sony will incorporate the existing RGB method into these models, in place of the originally planned ‘RGBW coding’ function, as it was found not to meet certain conditions of Sony's image quality standards.
