It is my great pleasure to introduce the Seventh Special Issue of the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON ELECTRON DEVICES on Solid-State Image Sensors. Previous special issues were published in February 1976, August 1985, May 1991, October 1997, January 2003, and November 2009. During the six-year interval since the last special issue, significant changes have occurred in the field of solid-state image sensors. This is due, in particular, to the drive for low-power, high integration, compact imaging systems. Now that the speed of pixel shrinkage is slowing down, various new technologies are being developed to increase the functionality of the sensors, to make them more compact, to make them faster, to increase their dynamic range, etc. Papers reflecting these trends in the image sensor technology are well represented in this special issue.
