Isorg Raises €24M to Ramp Up Large-Scale Production

ALA News: Isorg, a maker of printed organic photodetectors and large-area image sensors, raises €24M in a Series B round. New Science Ventures (NSV), a US-based investment firm and Bpifrance, through its fund Large Venture, are leading the round alongside Financière Fonds Privés (FFP) and current investors, Sofimac Innovation, CEA Investissement and Dynalim. The Series A round of €7.9M took place in 2014. Isorg’s technology can be used in smartphones, wearables, tablets and laptops, biometrics for homeland security and medical imaging.

The €24M funding will be used to support the qualification steps of its production site based in Limoges, France and continue the development of subsystems ready to be integrated in the various applications. It will support the work to enable large-scale commercialization in the coming years.

“We are heading towards launching the large-scale commercialization of our image sensors and other printed electronics solutions, which are in high demand among manufacturers of consumer electronics and biometric devices,” said Jean-Yves Gomez, CEO and co-founder of Isorg.

Photonics Spectra on Emerging Image Sensor Applications

Photonics Spectra publishes an article " Emerging Applications Drive Image Sensor Innovations " Hank Hogan. Few quotes: " Vendors are responding by increasing sensor spectral range, integrating new capabilities into devices, and adding features such as 3D imaging. The result can be rapid growth in sensors, even in areas that are relatively stable. For instance, the worldwide market for cars is expanding at a relatively modest pace, according to Geoff Ballew, senior director of marketing in the automotive sensing division of chipmaker ON Semiconductor Corp. of Phoenix. However, tepid growth is not the case for the automotive imaging solutions. “The number of sensors consumed and attached to those cars is growing wildly,” he said. “The image sensor chip business is growing in excess of 15 to 20 percent a year. The reason for that is cameras increasingly are adding new functionality to cars.” Automotive sensors are expected to work from -40 to 125 °C. That interacts with th...

Polarization Sensing in LWIR Band

KB ViTA kindly sent me an info about their latest LWIR camera that senses polarization: " It all was started with the fact KB ViTA has developed a very sensitive thermal imaging module VLM640, which had a sensitivity of at least 20 mK in 8 — 12 µm band. The sensor manufacturer turned to KB ViTA and offered an engineering sample from an experimental wafer of bolometric detectors with integrated polarization filters. For KB ViTA it was honorable but, at the same time, there was no understanding of what it is expected to ultimately obtain. The technology and the very idea of seeing the own polarization of the thermal photons of objects that surround us is absolutely new and hardly anyone has experience of processing such information. Below we will show you how the polarization in the IR spectrum looks. There were a polarizing sensor and electronics from VLM640 camera with 20 mK sensitivity. The interesting thing about the sensor is each pixel in the group of four is covered with a p...
