As the organic photoelectrc conversion layer has a large absorption coefficient in principle, it can absorb enough light in spite of its extreme thinness. Therefore, it is free from spectral cross-talk between tiny pixels when capturing slanting rays of light and does not need any micro-lenses convetionally used for gathering incident light.
The spectral sensitivity of the organic photoelectric conversion layer can be freely controlled by designing organic materials and it is possible to achieve a panchromatic property which does not have sensitivity to infrared light but only to blue, green and red light (as shown in Fig. 2). Therefore, it is not necessary to use a conventional infrafred light cut filter and we can eliminate its problem, a change of infrared cut wavelength and color hue caused by a change of the angle of light incidence.

Anyone care to look over this?
So am I right in thinking that
(a) such a sensor design would lessen some of the problems associated with wide angle and digital sensors, with lens designs needing to be telecentric, and the use of micro lenses on the sensor to correct.
(b) no filter over the sensor would lead to a much greater detail.
Yay or nay?
If this tech is in the Fuji LX perhaps it could explain why the 18/2 is smaller than one would expect for APS-C. Perhaps it could explain why the sensor itself supposedly meets and exceeds current full-frame models?
(sorry if this has been discussed before, only just saw it though...)

This new Fuji sensor tech has been mentioned before but it seems a many think it\'s too soon to see it in a commercial product - but we will see.
To me, this tech will improve corner performance, resolution, color accuracy, S/N ratio.
This could be a game changer.
