Fujifilm’s Organic Image Sensor
NE Asia Online has an interesting article about the development of an organic CMOS sensor by Fujifilm.
“The reason the organic CMOS sensor has been referred to as the ideal imaging sensor is its structure. Existing imaging devices extract only specific wavelengths, using color filters, and convert them to charges. In the green image, for example, blue and red light is discarded. The organic CMOS sensor, however, uses all visible light thanks to a vertical stack of organic photoelectric conversion films (Fig 3, p53). The per-pixel optical utilization is tripled, making it possible that sensitivity would be significantly higher than that of existing imagers.”

This sounds a lot like the Foveon sensor. Does it not?
Could be interesting.

The end results are similar, but the technologies are quite different.

Let's hope the results are not similar. Then this technology might get somewhere.

Poor choice of words on my part, Sparky. I should have said that the
resulting architectures are similar. And yes, I expect that the organic
CMOS will yield favorable results.

I think it all depends if it really can achieve a range over 12bits/color, as current mainstream technologies limited to it. I know the normal sensors do interpolation, to get all colors to all pixels (because of R-G-B filters) but this isn't the biggest drawback, blown highlights/lost shadows are...
