STMicroelectronics introduces a new family of 5MP CMOS image sensors: VD1943, VB1943, VD5943, and VB5943. These advanced ST BrightSense sensors are designed to accelerate the development of innovative vision applications across industries, including advanced industrial automation with enhanced machine and robotic vision, next-generation security including biometric identification and traffic management, and smart retail applications such as inventory management and automated checkout.

The sensors provide hybrid global and rolling shutter modes, allowing developers to optimize image capture for specific application requirements. This functionality ensures motion-artifact-free video capture (global shutter) and low-noise, high-detail imaging (rolling shutter), making it ideal for high-speed object tracking and automated manufacturing processes.

The VD1943, VD5943, VB1943, and VB5943 sensors, part of the ST BrightSense portfolio, are ready for evaluation and sampling, with mass production scheduled to begin in February 2026 (more info).
