The Mechelen-based company Spectricity will work with South Korea’s Namuga, a manufacturer of camera modules for smartphones that supplies Samsung, among others.

Founded in 2018 as a spin-off of the imec research center, Spectricity has completed its first product: the S1 spectral image sensor. According to the company, the technology addresses the shortcomings in color fidelity that the sensors in smartphones suffer from today.

“There are already spectral sensors in certain smartphones to measure white balance, but they record an average while we can measure white balance anywhere in the room. In this way we make a real difference,” explains technical director Jonathan Borremans.

The company is now announcing a partnership with South Korea’s Namuga, which produces camera modules on a large scale. Spectricity CEO Vincent Mouret expects the first smartphones with the Belgian sensor to be on the market as early as next year.

Among others, Namuga supplies Samsung, one of the largest smartphone manufacturers in the world. It’s possible that Spectricity’s sensor will end up in their devices, but the company can’t predict that just yet.
