Sigma Corporation today announced that it has acquired Foveon, Inc., the company that developed the world’s first three-layer image sensor. The two companies have had a long-term working relationship during which Sigma has incorporated the Foveon sensor—which stacks three layers (RGB) in each pixel location—into its digital cameras.
Two additional Foveon-equipped cameras are slated for release from Sigma in 2009. According to Sigma, the acquisition will further the development of new types of image sensors and provide better integration between the cameras and X3 sensor.
