US Patent Issued to OMNIVISION TECHNOLOGIES on Oct. 14 for "Readout architectures for motion blur reduction in indirect time-of-flight sensors" (California Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Oct. 21 -- United States Patent no. 12,442,901, issued on Oct. 14, was assigned to OMNIVISION TECHNOLOGIES INC. (Santa Clara, Calif.).

"Readout architectures for motion blur reduction in indirect time-of-flight sensors" was invented by Andreas Suess (San Jose, Calif.) and Zheng Yang (San Jose, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A time-of-flight pixel circuit includes a photodiode configured to generate charge in response to modulated light reflected from an object. First and second transfer transistors are coupled to the photodiode. The first transfer transistor transfers a first portion of charge from the photodiode in response to a first modulation signal and the second ...
