Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (“Toshiba”) has launched a lens-reduction type[1] CCD[2] linear image sensor “TCD2728DG” for A3 multifunction printers. Shipments start today. The sensor has 7,500 image sensing elements (pixels)[3] and supports A3 multifunction printers. It is also more effective at reducing random noise (NDσ)[4] than Toshiba’s current TCD2726DG. Business offices are seeing a growing need for high-speed, high-resolution copying and scanning of large volumes of different kinds of documents. This is particularly true for A3 multifunction printers, where improving image quality has become an important issue, and NDσ in the signal has to be suppressed to enhance image quality. TCD2728DG has…
