Contact Image Sensor and CIS Module
CMOS Sensor Inc. is a trusted designer and manufacturer of contact image sensors (CIS) and CIS modules with over 25 years of engineering excellence.
A standard CIS module is an optical device which consists of sensor board, SELFOC Lens Array (SLA), light source within a housing sealed by cover glass.
The sensor board is carefully designed with in-house linear sensor chips using silicon butting technology. One chip can be butted to another chip to form a long sensor module, the end pulse of the preceding chip is connected to the start pulse of the next chip. The length of the CIS module can be extended from one chip up to A0 size.
