Looks like they might have implemented this patent: http://patents.justia.com/patent/20140232912:

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Generally, an image pickup unit for color photography may use, for example, a filter in which regions are separately painted with the use of respective pigments of R, G, and B as the above-described color filter, and allows color light of one of R, G, and B to be selectively transmitted in each region. Therefore, color light of only one color of R, G, and B is allowed to be detected in one pixel. In particular, in an image corresponding to a subject that has a large contrast difference, degradation in image quality such as so-called false color and color mixture may be easily caused as a result of an image arithmetic processing.

Therefore, it is desirable to provide an image pickup unit capable of suppressing occurrence of false color and color mixture and acquiring a color image with high image quality, and to provide an electronic apparatus that includes this.

An image pickup unit of an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: an image pickup device including a plurality of pixels and outputting an image pickup data; a variable filter provided on a light receiving face of the image pickup device, and configured to allow a selective transmission wavelength of incident light to be variable; and a filter drive section driving the variable filter and thereby time-divisionally switching the transmission wavelength.

An electronic apparatus of an embodiment of the present disclosure includes the image pickup unit of the above-described embodiment of the present disclosure.

In the image pickup unit of an embodiment of the present disclosure, the filter drive section drives the variable filter and time-divisionally switches its transmission wavelength. Accordingly, in the image pickup device, image data of colors corresponding to transmission wavelengths of the variable filter are outputted in a temporally-successive manner.

According to the image pickup unit of an embodiment of the present disclosure, the filter drive section drives the variable filter, and time-divisionally switches its transmission wavelength. Therefore, in the image pickup device, it is possible to output, in a temporally-successive manner, the image data of colors corresponding to the transmission wavelengths of the variable filter as the image pickup data. By generating a color image based on such image pickup data, it is possible to suppress occurrence of false color and color mixture, and to acquire a color image with high image quality.

Seems like elaborate hoax

One thing that can explain so big base ISO and such FPS is that this thing is paired with special LSI (and looking for LVDS number it can be bonded to it) and this LSI integrate multiple shots made with very short (may be even fixed) shutter speed into final picture. As you need really short shutter speed to integrate all three colors.

I'm wondering about the generated heat and cooling problems in video mode.
