Market Share of Asia Pacific Smartphone Camera Module Industry
The Asia-Pacific Smartphone Camera Module Market is a competitive market that consists of significant players. However, in terms of market share, few major players such as LG Innotek Co., Ltd, Samsung Group, Sunny Optical Technology Company Limited, Foxconn Technology Group (Sharp), OmniVision Technologies Inc., etc., currently dominate the market. The mid-size and the smaller companies can increase their market presence by securing new contracts and tapping new markets with the help of technological advancements, product innovations, and partnerships. Some of the latest developments include :-
- September 2021 - Valens Semiconductor and Sunny Optical Technology Group Company Limited have partnered to develop MIPI A-PHY-compliant chipsets for next-generation camera modules. For multi-gigabit vehicle communication, A-PHY is a long-reach serializer-deserializer (SerDes) physical layer interface. The MIPI Alliance launched it in September 2020 as a standard for integrating cameras, sensors, and displays in automobiles while also incorporating functional safety and security. Engineering samples of the Valens VA7000 chipset family, the first A-PHY compliant chipset, will be available in the fourth quarter of 2021.
- May 2021 - The OV60A, a 0.61 micron (m) pixel high-resolution CMOS image sensor for mobile phone cameras, was unveiled by OmniVision Technologies, Inc., a developer of sophisticated digital imaging systems. The OV60A can be used in either a 3:4 or 16:9 aspect ratio 1/2.8 inch optical format. The OV60A's 4-cell color filter array uses near-pixel binning to produce up to 15MP photos with 4X the sensitivity for preview and native 4K video with additional pixels for electronic image stabilization, with 1.22m equivalent performance (EIS).
