Apple competence be staid to embankment OmniVision for a subsequent turn of iPhone / iPod Touch cameras, though which hasn’t stopped a association from trotting out a uninformed stand of sensors. Weeks after phenomenon a brutal twelve megapixel number, it’s voiced a OV5690, a 5 megapixel chip, as well as a initial to operate a company’s second-generation OmniBSI-2 pixel architecture. In further to sharpened 5 megapixel stills, it annals 1080p video during thirty frames per second as well as 720p cinema during 60fps. And, many notably, OmniVision cut a sensor’s tallness by twenty percent in a hopes which it’ll find a home in “slimmer” smartphones as well as tablets. So far, it’s misleading what inclination will soak up it — a association says pass vendors have been sampling a sensor during a moment, with mass prolongation approaching to proceed in a second half of this year.

1.4-Micron OmniBSI-2 Pixel Maintains Best-In-Class Image Quality While Reducing Camera Module Height by twenty Percent
SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 18, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — OmniVision Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: OVTI), a heading developer of modernized digital imaging solutions, now introduced a OV5690, a initial 5-megapixel picture sensor to operate OmniVision’s exclusive OmniBSI-2 pixel architecture. The latest 1.4-micron backside enlightenment pixel allows for a full 5 megapixels in a 1/4-inch visual format, as well as combines best-in-class picture peculiarity with a twenty percent rebate in camera procedure height, creation it an in effect fortitude for slimmer mobile handsets, intelligent phones as well as inscription computers.
“With attention sources fixation 5-megapixel CMOS picture sensors during some-more than fifteen percent of a altogether sensor marketplace today, you perspective 5-megapixel sensors as occupying as a honeyed mark in a market,” pronounced Per Rosdahl, product selling physical education instructor during OmniVision. “Some attention analysts hold which marketplace share might surpass thirty percent by 2014(1) driven by a direct for aloft opening fortitude as well as increasingly slim mobile handsets, intelligent phone as well as inscription designs. With a OV5690 CameraChip™, OmniVision brings a rarely competitive, no-compromise fortitude to market, mixing best-in-class opening whilst enabling intensely skinny structure height.”
Based upon OmniVision’s fit second-generation OmniBSI-2 technology, a OV5690 delivers modernized facilities together with 1080p tall clarification (HD) video recording during thirty frames per second, an integrated scaler, as well as 2 x 2 binning functionality with re-sampling filter. The scaler enables electronic picture stabilization, whilst progressing full margin of perspective in 720p as well as 1080p HD video modes, as well as allows for HD video with digital video wizz functionality. The OV5690′s post-binning re-sampling filter minimizes spatial artifacts as well as removes picture artifacts around edges, producing clean, frail tone images for 720p/60 HD video in binning mode.
The sensor facilities a customary 2-lane (1 Gbps/lane) MIPI/LVDS interface, as well as fits in to a attention customary 8.5 x 8.5 mm procedure distance with a z-height next 5 mm, or we estimate twenty percent reduce than existent industry-leading 1/3.2-inch 5-megapixel picture sensors.
The OV5690 is now being sampled by pass business as well as mass prolongation is approaching to proceed in a second half of 2011.
