Mingjiada Electronics Supply ST BrightSense Series CMOS Image Sensors

As application scenarios continue to expand, the development of vision systems faces ever-increasing challenges, requiring versatile and adaptable solutions. Furthermore, the rise of battery-powered devices and AI systems has further increased the complexity of vision system development, demanding solutions that are easy to integrate and capable of utilising power and processing resources efficiently.

Shenzhen Mingjiada Electronics Co., Ltd. — a supplier of STMicroelectronics’ (ST) high-end CMOS image sensors for industrial and consumer electronics applications, covering products such as RGB-IR image sensors, monochrome/colour global shutter image sensors, and automotive HDR global shutter image sensors. Mingjiada Electronics maintains stock of mainstream models and supports both small-batch samples and large-volume orders, ensuring rapid product delivery through an efficient logistics system.

ST CMOS Image Sensors – Key Technical Advantages:

Hybrid Shutter – A single sensor supports both global shutter (no motion artefacts, suitable for high-speed object tracking) and rolling shutter (low noise, high detail), representing a unique and flexible architecture currently available on the market

3D Stacked BSI Pixel Technology — 2.25μm pixels, a die size of just 5.76mm × 4.46mm, and a pixel array coverage of 73 per cent, enabling integration into vision modules with limited space

On-chip intelligent processing — The RGB-IR version integrates on-chip RGB-IR separation, demosaicing, NIR intelligent enhancement and 18-bit high dynamic range reconstruction, thereby reducing the load on the main processor

Global shutter technology: Prevents the ‘jelly effect’ and image trailing when capturing fast-moving objects, which is a core requirement for industrial machine vision and high-speed inspection.

Ultra-low power consumption design: Models such as the VD55G1 are specifically designed for edge AI applications, such as AR/VR headsets and smart wearable devices, meeting stringent power consumption requirements.

High sensitivity and compact size: utilising back-illuminated (BSI) pixel technology to achieve outstanding low-light performance within a miniature package
