Perovskite Emerges as Alternative to Silicon in Image Sensors
Most image sensors are made of silicon; this material normally absorbs light over the entire visible spectrum. To manufacture it into RGB image sensors, the incoming light must be filtered. Pixels for red contain filters that block (and waste) green and blue, and so on. Each pixel in a silicon image sensor therefore only receives around a third of the available light. Now, researchers have proposed a solution to this problem, which allows them to utilize every photon of light for color recognition.
