Title: Boon Keng Teng: Innovator in CMOS Technology
Introduction
Boon Keng Teng is a notable inventor based in Singapore, recognized for his contributions to the field of image sensor technology. With a total of 2 patents, he has made significant advancements that enhance the functionality and efficiency of digital imaging systems.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is a CMOS image sensor with selectable hard-wired binning. This innovative sensor allows for selectively outputting one of two vertical resolutions, such as 1080 to 720 lines. The scan conversion is implemented entirely on the image sensor chip by utilizing smaller sub-pixel cores, which can be electrically combined via switch transistors. The basic circuit of the CMOS image sensor consists of pixel cells arranged in lines and columns. Each pixel cell contains a photosensitive element that converts light into electric charge and a first transfer element. The first transfer elements of multiple pixel cells arranged consecutively in the same column are designed to transfer the charge generated in their respective photosensitive elements during exposure to a single first charge storage element provided for the group. This exemplary embodiment allows for combining the signal information of either two or three vertically adjacent sub-pixel cores.
Another significant patent involves a method for time base correction during the generation of a digital video signal from an analog input video signal. This invention includes an apparatus equipped with means for digitizing an analog input video signal using the described method. The method encompasses several steps that ensure accurate time base correction, enhancing the quality of the resulting digital video signal.
