The Canon patent proposes two variations. A fully curved sensor and a sensor flat in the center and curved on the edge:

A fully curved sensor would require the launch of a completely new system camera as the lenses would have to be redesigned. While the Canon sensor design with flat center and curved edges might work with current lens designs too.

By the way, the lens is rumored to be still the same “old” 23mm glas.
