Company description

eyeo is a semiconductor company developing a fundamentally new image sensor architecture based on its  NCOS® (Nanophotonic Color Splitting) technology. Conventional sensors rely on absorptive color filters that discard roughly 70% of incoming light before it ever reaches the pixel, capping sensitivity, color accuracy, and low-light performance across every camera-enabled device on the market. eyeo replaces the filter with nano-photonic structures that split light by wavelength and steer it losslessly to the correct sub-pixel, delivering markedly higher sensitivity, more accurate color, and the headroom to shrink pixels further without sacrificing image quality. With applications spanning smartphone cameras,automotive vision, medical imaging, and security, eyeo is bringing seven years of proven nanophotonic research to volume production.
