LAS VEGAS, Jan. 9, 2015 /TRENDINGGLOBALNEWS/ -- OmniVision Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: OVTI), a leading developer of advanced digital imaging solutions, recently announced from the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas,
that it has partnered with Wavelens to bring to market an innovative
autofocus (AF) technology that utilizes a microelectromechanical system
(MEMS) instead of the dated voice coil motor (VCM) technology used in
many consumer devices today. OmniVision couples its 23.8-megapixel
OV23850 sensor with Wavelens' solution to provide MEMS-based, high-speed
autofocus functionality with DSC-like image quality and performance for
flagship smartphones.
"With
our partnership with OmniVision, we are able to fully leverage the
high-speed focus and low-power consumption that our MEMS-based autofocus
technology offers," said Sebastien Bolis, CEO at Wavelens. "Together,
we are redefining what users can do with a smartphone camera, allowing
them to take rapid multi-frame captures or to have continuous autofocus
during video capturing."
"The
OV23850 supports fast-auto focus modes and is our highest resolution
image sensor currently available, which makes it the preferred sensor
for the MEMS focus technology developed by Wavelens," said Tehzeeb Gunja,
senior partnership and business development manager at OmniVision.
"VCM-based autofocus, while a proven technology, suffers from slow speed
to focus and high current consumption. We are excited to take part in
the transition to a superior MEMs-based solution that can overcome VCM's
shortcomings. OmniVision is working with Wavelens to bring to market
the MEMS-based autofocus technology across a wide array of sensors."
The
OV23850 is capable of recording quad high definition (QHD) video at 30
FPS in HDR mode to enable 'always on' HDR preview mode for a resolution
size popular with flagship smartphone displays. Additionally, the
sensors support 720p HD video at 120 FPS and 1080p HD video at 90 FPS,
allowing for crisp slow motion video recording.
