Thanks. I hate it so much when people do not explain the acronyms they use, at least once.
It is like a map without a legend. It is so confusing.
And I am an expert on electronics, I can guess it, most people will read that as nonsense.

- waheoo 6y agoI don't know why you're being downvoted, when was the last time you saw someone spell out central processing unit? Random access memory? Hard disk drive? Given the context, its not always required to reiterate acronyms.
- 4ad 6y agoPretty much. The whole blog is dedicated to imaging news and sensors.

- GuB-42 6y agoThere are 269 definitions for CIS on Acronym Finder. The first one is "Computer Information Systems" there is also "Contact Image Sensor" before we get to "CMOS Image Sensor". Even among specialists acronyms may cause confusion.
- addicted 6y agoThere’s 325 acronyms for PC, 126 for RAM, etc but you don’t expect a tech enthusiast site to spell out those for you? At least I hope not.
- dragontamer 6y agoThe domain name is "image-sensors-world.blogspot.com". I assume the intended audience is people who are into image sensors.
- C1sc0cat 6y agoIt is how ever best practice in most writing style guides
- LegitShady 6y agoIt's extremely poor communication and writing and worth a down vote.
- bryanlarsen 6y agoYes, I wouldn't think you'd need to expand "CMOS Image Sensor" on a site named "Image Sensor World".
- rasz 6y agoYou would think a site named "Image Sensor World" would know what CIS stands for and not write "...hoping to win 60% of the global Market Share of CIS Image Sensors by...".

- rorykoehler 6y agoMy wife was talking about OHP which she used when teaching while explaining something today. I was a bit confused as we didn’t have anything called OHP when I was in school. After a bit of explaining we realised she had only ever known it as OHP. She has never stopped to think about what it was an acronym for. Turns out she was talking about the overhead projector which we had plenty of in school. Reminded me of the five monkeys experiment https://workingoutloud.com/blog/the-five-monkeys-experiment-with-a-new-lesson https://workingoutloud.com/blog/the-five-monkeys-experiment-...

- pstuart 6y agoSpot on.
- mensetmanusman 6y agoSo much nostalgia for that movie
- tedivm 6y agoFor those who don't know, the five monkeys experiment was completely made up by someone trying to sell books about business and has never been replicated. https://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/6828/was-the-experiment-with-five-monkeys-a-ladder-a-banana-and-a-water-spray-condu https://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/6828/was-the-ex...
- ksec 6y agoThat is the part I dont understand. CMOS is widely known. And in the context of Image Sensor, as long as you write CMOS everyone should understand. But CIS isn't, not to mention it keep repeating itself like this sentence below "In the face of Samsung's close pursuit, Sony decided to expand its partnership with TSMC, hoping to win 60% of the global Market Share of CIS Image Sensors by 2025." What exactly is CIS Image Sensors? CMOS Image Sensor Image Sensor? Just call it CMOS Image Sensor. Not everything has to be an acronyms.
- dtech 6y ago> What exactly is CIS Image Sensors? It's what you use to take a picture of the LCD display in an ATM Machine. An ATM machine runs on AC current and you need to enter your PIN number, which it will verify over its LAN network connection.
