The marriage that the Finnish Nokia maintains with the remarkable technologies applied to the cameras of photos integrated in their mobiles has had not a few anniversaries to review. The last one is the one that has been given by the system that they have baptized as PureView and that has been installed in the Nokia 808 "" soon it seems that we will see it in the Nokia Lumia with Windows Phone 8 "", but before we knew powerful 12.1 megapixel sensor of the Nokia N8, and in fact, since the Nokia N95, with its attractive Carl Zeiss lens, they have already been demonstrating the importance that for the Finnishhas this section in the table of benefits of their mobiles.
Given this, what will be the next stages in this idyll? As we know through Unwired View, it seems that the future of the technology that will be used in the cameras of Nokia mobile phones is graphene. The graphene is a material from the carbon which has a number of properties that make it very attractive for its application in electronics fundamentals.
It is a great conductor, allows the elaboration of very thin and microscopic compounds, highly resistant, and can become almost transparent. On the other hand, the production of this compound is quite inexpensive. For all these reasons, graphene has already been considered the heir to silicon, and the research that in recent years has been poured into this material already invites enthusiasm regarding its implementation in the immediate future of electronics and electronics. computing.
Nokia, for its part, is already thinking about graphene for the development of its future sensors. Precisely one of the qualities that we have described of this compound, its high transparency, makes graphene a very interesting material when it comes to using it to build cameras for mobile phones. And it is that the light absorption capacity of this compound places it as an excellent candidate to manufacture units that, in addition, can be significantly thinner than those currently developed based on CMOS sensors.
Let us think, thus, of units such as the aforementioned Nokia 808 PureView, although avoiding the hump described by this mobile due to the camera installed at the back of the terminal. In addition, as we say, the lower costs associated with graphene would allow, among other things, the production of sensors based on this technology with a much lower investment.
Unfortunately, at the moment it is not known when this type of camera will become a reality beyond the path that has begun through the investigation, so we will have to be patient in order to see the first Nokia mobile that carries a graphene-based sensor. It is more than likely that before that moment arrives, this material will already be seen in hyper-fast processors or in flexible screens endowed with an important resistance to breakage.
