Exploratory Analysis: Nano-Pillar Structures from Samsung JNP, and their Fabrication Materials

Samsung’s JNP image sensor debuts Nanoprism tech, boosting light capture. TechInsights analyzes its mobile-first metaphotonics micro-lens array.

Samsung’s JNP image sensor introduces a significant shift in mobile imaging technology with the debut of its Nanoprism structure—a refractive-index nanostructure that replaces the conventional microlens. This design enhances light sensitivity and reduces optical losses, representing a thoughtful evolution in sensor architecture. TechInsights has conducted a detailed analysis of the JNP sensor, including its use of a metaphotonics micro-lens array (MPMA)—a first in mobile applications. The findings offer valuable insight into the structure and function of Samsung’s Nanoprism and its role in advancing image sensor performance.
