A team from Columbia University has figured out how to expound upon the photodiode’s role in a camera’s pixels to give the device not only the ability to capture images, but also generate power by ...

Imagine the day when you can grab your phone, snap a great photo or video, and never again get that annoying alert that there will be no picture or video taking until the battery has more juice.

Powerful, inexpensive and even flexible when they need to be, organic photodiodes are a promising alternative to silicon-based photodetectors. They are used to improve light sensitivity in cameras and ...

Samsung's trips to the US Patent and Trademark Office have been well documented. Last month, publications were filled with news of BRITECELL, a patent Samsung filed early in November and is purported ...

Detecting infrared light is critical in an enormous range of technologies, from remote controls to autofocus systems to self-driving cars and virtual reality headsets. That means there would be major ...

Photodiode is a type of light detector capable of converting light energy into either current or voltage, depending upon the mode of operation. Photodiodes are similar to typical semiconductor diodes ...

Using green light and a double-layered cell, PhD researcher Riccardo Ollearo from Eindhoven University of Technology ("TU/e") has come up with a photodiode that has record sensitivity. Solar panels ...
