Panasonic has developed a technology that captures hyperspectral images with the world’s highest sensitivity

This is very cool. If it's accurate, it could make a huge difference in sensors down the road.

Using the above-mentioned special filter allows light of multiple wavelengths to pass through, increasing the amount of light detected by the image sensor and improving sensitivity. Specifically, the developed special filter passes about 45% of the incident light. This is about 10 times higher than the light utilization efficiency of conventional technology (5% or less), and the world’s highest sensitivity. In an example of an image taken with the brightness of general office lighting (550 lux), the developed technology was able to capture a clear image (Fig. 2a), but the conventional technology was only faintly visible (Fig. 2b). In this way, the developed hyperspectral imaging technology enables clear imaging without the extremely bright special lighting (over 10,000 lux) required by conventional hyperspectral cameras.
