Embodiment Construction
[0025] Embodiments relate to methods and systems for extending the dynamic range of a visible image sensor. One embodiment includes a CMOS based visible image sensor incorporating dual diode pixels with different integration times to extend the dynamic range of the image sensor. Extending the dynamic range of visible image sensors is very important because sensors used on typical mobile devices may have insufficient dynamic range to capture the full dynamic range of outdoor images. In some embodiments, CMOS sensors can increase dynamic range by incorporating a dual diode design. For example, such a design could include a larger photodiode with a larger well capacity to absorb more light and provide more detail in the dark areas of the image and a smaller well capacity to provide more detail in the bright areas of the image. Detail of the smaller photodiode.
[0026] The total amount of charge that a light sensing element, such as a photodiode, can hold is called well capacit...
