CMOS Image Sensors Industry Overview
The CMOS image sensor market exhibits high fragmentation, with major players such as STMicroelectronics NV, Sony Group Corporation, Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd, ON Semiconductor Corporation, and Canon Inc. These entities are leveraging strategies like partnerships and acquisitions to enrich their product portfolios and establish enduring competitive edges.
In September 2023, Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation unveiled the IMX735, a cutting-edge CMOS image sensor designed for automotive cameras, boasting an industry-leading pixel count of 17.42 effective megapixels. This innovative product is poised to bolster the development of automotive camera systems capable of sophisticated sensing and recognition, contributing significantly to the advancement of safe and secure automated driving.
Additionally, in January 2023, Samsung Electronics introduced its latest 200-megapixel (MP) image sensor, the ISOCELL HP2. This sensor incorporates enhanced pixel technology and increased full-well capacity, delivering stunning mobile images for premium smartphones. Packed with 200 million 0.6-micrometer (μm) pixels within a 1/1.3” optical format, a sensor size widely used in 108MP primary smartphone cameras, the ISOCELL HP2 enables consumers to experience even higher resolutions in the latest high-end smartphones without larger camera protrusions.
