RGBW sensor
An RGBW matrix (from red, green, blue,
white) is a CFA that includes "white" or
transparent filter elements that allow the
photodiode to respond to all colors of
light; that is, some cells are
"panchromatic", and more of the light is
detected, rather than absorbed, compared
to the Bayer matrix. Sugiyama filed for a
patent on such an arrangement in 2005.[16]
Kodak announced several RGBW CFA
patents in 2007, all of which have the
property that when the panchromatic cells
are ignored, the remaining color filtered
cells are arranged such that their data can
be processed with a standard Bayer
demosaicing algorithm.
CYGM sensor
A CYGM matrix (cyan, yellow, green,
magenta) is a CFA that uses mostly
secondary colors, again to allow more of
the incident light to be detected rather than
absorbed. Other variants include CMY and
CMYW matrices.
E-paper CFA
There are three primary methods for
reproducing color on e paper displays. One
uses micro spheres in various pigments,
such as the limited color range three
pigment Spectra displays or more faithful
four pigment Advanced Color ePaper, both
by E Ink. This method suffers from often
slow refresh rates as with several
pigments the display must perform
refreshes for each pigment. As with grey
scale units, after the display is updated the
device does not require power to keep the
image on screen.
