Toshiba has announced the development of a back-illuminated CMOS sensor suitable for compact digital cameras. The technology, as used by Sony in its Exmor R sensors, will now be used in a 14.6MP, 1/2.3" sensor. The company says it will start shipping the Dynastron-branded chip by the third quarter of 2010. It will initially produce 50 million units and expand in response to demand.
