Ruselectronics holding has started developing on-chip photo modules with a highly-demanded resolution of 4 MP. The products will be designed for computer vision and video monitoring systems, including those used in extreme conditions. Photovoltaic characteristics meeting the world’s leading standards are embedded in the modules. The first mass produced devices will be available in 2026. 

The new modules are being developed by Central Research and Development Institute ‘Electron’ included in Ruselectronics holding. The photodetector is based on the most commonly used integrated circuit technology. These ICs feature ultra low steady-state power consumption and quick response. 

The device will be designed for operation in the wavelength range of 400-900 nm with a resolution of 2048×2048. The pixel size will be 5.3µm×5.3µm, which is comparable with the leading foreign products. 

In addition, the sensors will possess high mechanical and climatic characteristics. Due to this, they might be incorporated, in particular, in arctic and other telemetry systems.
