Image sensor aims for high-volume handsets
OmniVision Technologies has released its first CameraChip based on the Standard Mobile Imaging Architecture introduced by Nokia and STMicroelectronics in January 2004.
Earlier this month, the OV7670 VGA sensor drew attention when it was announced that this CameraChip enabled the manufacture of ultrathin handsets.
Customers have taken advantage of this newly designed, high-performance VGA sensor, which measures just 6 x 6 x 4.1mm.
The OV9655, introduced in the second half of 2005, is a newly improved, feature-rich quarter-inch, 1.3Mpixel CameraChip with LCD scaler and enhanced image processing.
It is currently considered the best performing 1.3Mpixel mobile imager available in volume.
Since its introduction, the OV9655 has been designed into numerous new handset designs that are expected to hit the market this month and throughout the rest of the year.
