Rohm's CIGS NIR Image Sensor Wins CEATEC 2012 Innovation Award

Ubergizmo reports that Rohm’s CIGS NIR image sensor won CEATEC Japan 2012 Innovation Award. Rohm's sensor was selected because it allows the creation of NIR cameras that are much more power-efficient, small and cost effective than alternative solutions.

Different version of this sensor have been exhibited at CEATEC shows since 2007 (Tech-On), but have not been awarded up to now.
