What does contact image sensor?
CIS, which stands for contact image sensor, is an image reading sensor using LEDs as the light source with integrated lenses and sensor ICs for imaging. Our CIS is used as image reading devices in a wide variety of products, since it is easily integrated into the products.
What are CCD and CIS technologies?
CIS (Contact Imaging Sensor) and CCD (Charged Coupled Device) are representative examples of image processing modules, but the technology of CIS has dramatically improved over the last 10 years. Today, a comparison of CIS with CCD in image quality doesn’t have any significant meaning.
What is CIS semiconductor?
CIS is unique from other semiconductor devices because it converts light energy into electrical signals. It is manufactured on silicon wafers similar to semiconductors and follows typical back-end packaging processes such as grinding, sawing, and electrical testing.
What is the full form of CIS scanner?
Large format scanners use one of two imaging systems – CCD (Charge Coupled Device) or CIS (Contact Image Sensor). A CIS is an integrated module that comprises an illumination system, an optical system and a light-sensing system – all within a single compact component.
Which is better CCD or CIS?
Since cameras capture up to 48-bit color, printing and copying to 8 or 12 color printers produces significantly better results than CIS. Color depth and the ability to recognize the nuances of gradients is superior on CCD scanners.
Which is better CCD or CIS scanner?
Whether your original documents are hand-drawn engineering drawings, B&W photos, or maps, CCD scanner technology captures 16-bit grayscale (64,000 shades of grey). This process uses a dedicated monochrome channel for a much sharper clearer image. Conversely, CIS scanners only deliver an 8-bit grayscale (256 shades).
How does a contact image sensor work?
As no reduction or enlargement is required, the distance between the document being scanned and the sensor is very short (~13 mm – hence, contact image sensor). The optical system is a rod lens array that directs light from the document surface onto the silicon surface.

How many LEDs are there in a contact image sensor?
CIS (Contact Image Sensor) There are three LEDs (red, green, blue) in each set. These are either strobed rapidly to provide color content in the scan or shone simultaneously to provide a perfectly registered black and white scan.
