High-accuracy energy measurements and photon-level data acquisition on a single chip

ATSUGI, Japan, June 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation (Sony) today announced the upcoming release, mass-production, and shipment of the IMX711 direct conversion charge-integrating X-ray CMOS image sensor.

The IMX711 is an X-ray image sensor for inspection and measurement instrumentation which directly detects X-rays and outputs signals proportional to their energy. The new sensor offers the industry’s fastest*1 maximum 26,100 fps high-speed imaging, achieved thanks to Sony’s proprietary circuit technology, suppressing charge saturation for accurate measurements. It also significantly reduces noise to enable improved signal detection precision in low-flux conditions, detecting differences in photon energy. It provides both high-accuracy measurements of integrated X-ray energy at a wide dynamic range and energy information acquisition at the photon level on a single sensor, a feat that has been difficult with conventional sensors. This unique feature will contribute to the advancement and diversification of X-ray inspection and measurement technologies, which are used in a wide variety of applications, from cutting-edge device inspection to scientific measurements.

Main Features

High-accuracy measurements in a wide dynamic range thanks to the industry’s fastest,*1 low-noise imaging

This product achieves the industry’s fastest*1 maximum frame rate of 26,100 fps thanks to Sony’s proprietary circuit technology. Lowering the amount of accumulated charge per frame enables superior saturation characteristics compared to conventional sensors. At the same time, random noise, which is a technical challenge on charge-integrating sensors, has been reduced to 34 e-rms*3 so that even faint X-ray signals are not obscured by noise and can be reliably detected. This improves measurement precision under low-flux conditions, offering photon level detection. These features enable accurate measurement of integrated X-ray energy for all pixels across low- to high-flux conditions, supporting inspection and measurement with significant differences in brightness on a single sensor, contributing to improved device throughput and an expanded dynamic range.

*3 An evaluation result. This result is calculated based on the average value of pixels in the sensor’s effective area in an environment where the sensor’s internal operating temperature is at or below 20℃. The functional guaranteed value is 60 e-rms.

High energy resolution enabling inspection and measurement using photon energy

The new sensor uses the charge-integrating method, which makes it possible to acquire photon energy information without the need to set a threshold in advance. Furthermore, noise and signal variation are suppressed during reading to achieve high energy resolution for clear identification of differences in photon energy. Enabling acquisition of highly reliable data via high energy resolution will contribute to streamlining and improving precision in advanced inspection and measurement, which previously required several measurements in applications such as detecting differences in constituent elements at the element level and structural and material analysis to quantitatively evaluate minute state changes. It also enables post-processing under various conditions such as collecting the measurement data for all pixels, combining it with spatial information, and extracting specific energy data contributes to multifunctional inspection and measurement.

The IMX711 was developed with the collaboration between Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation and RIKEN. Based on a pixel structure invented by Dr. Takaki Hatsui of RIKEN, the two parties worked together on the technological development required to make it viable as a practical X-ray image sensor, including improving sensitivity and achieving high resistance to X-ray irradiation and high-voltage tolerance. Sony developed its circuit technology, manufacturing processes and packaging technology for mass production.

By

LaVivid Hair launches a sports-focused hair systems collection designed for men who want breathable comfort, secure attachment, and natural-looking confidence during workouts, football season, summer activities, and everyday movement.

IRVINE, Calif., June 13, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — As global football excitement builds and more men return to sports, workouts, travel, and outdoor activities, LaVivid Hair has introduced its Sports Hair Systems Collection, a curated lineup of breathable, secure, and natural-looking hair systems designed for men with active lifestyles.

Men should not have to choose between looking natural and living actively. This collection was created for customers who want to work out, play sports, travel, and enjoy daily life with more confidence.

For many men experiencing hair loss, staying active can bring concerns that go beyond performance. They may wonder whether a hair system will stay secure during sweat, whether the hairline will remain natural during movement, or whether they can focus on a game, workout, or summer activity without checking their hair.

LaVivid Hair created the Sports Hair Systems Collection to help answer those concerns with practical product choices built around comfort, hold, realism, and easier maintenance.

The collection focuses on four active-wear priorities:

Breathable comfort: Lace and lace-center constructions help improve airflow during warm weather, workouts, and active days.

Secure attachment: Hybrid bases with skin or poly perimeters provide a stable bonding area for tape or glue, helping wearers feel more confident during movement.

Natural appearance: Lace fronts, graduated hairlines, and realistic density options help maintain a natural look from different angles.

Easy maintenance: Active lifestyles require simple bonding, cleaning, and regular upkeep, especially after sweat, heat, or long wear.

“Men should not have to choose between looking natural and living actively,” said a LaVivid Hair spokesperson. “This collection was created for customers who want to work out, play sports, travel, and enjoy daily life with more confidence.”

Top recommendations from the Sports Hair Systems Collection include Simois, Light Crius, Upgrade Ares, and Mars. Each system serves a different active-wear need, from breathable full lace comfort to hybrid lace-and-skin constructions that balance airflow with secure bonding.

Simois is designed for wearers who want a breathable lace center, a natural lace front hairline, and a skin perimeter for reliable attachment. Light Crius offers a lower-density look with French lace comfort and easy bonding, making it suitable for warm-weather wear and lighter active routines. Upgrade Ares combines a lace center with an ultra-thin skin front for wearers who want a natural front appearance with practical maintenance. Mars, a full lace option, is ideal for men who prioritize maximum breathability and lightweight comfort for light sports and summer activity.

For sports and active lifestyles, LaVivid Hair also recommends pairing the right base with dependable attachment products such as Ultra Hold Tape and Ultra Hold Glue. The right adhesive routine can help improve confidence during workouts, football matches, and daily movement.

The Sports Hair Systems Collection is now available at LaVivid Hair. Customers can explore the collection here:
