Planet82 CES Info

Planet82 invested a lot into its booth construction on CES 2007 (link to picture):



It also put together a nice press kit with "SMPD Technology Presentation". About the only interesting thing in this presentation is SMPD pixel diagram:



Other than small pixel size, it seems to be proud by a very small fill factor - quite opposite to what others are doing. Anybody can explain this?

My guess is it actually collects light from a bigger area, but then transfer the photocharge into a small site to improve conversion factor. Now they call this small site an "aperture" to emphasize their uniqueness.
