SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
June 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- OmniVision Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: OVTI), a leading
developer of advanced digital imaging solutions, today announced
the OV9734, the company's smallest 720p high-definition (HD) sensor
for consumer applications. Built on OmniVision's PureCel™
technology, the OV9734 CameraChip™ delivers premium quality images
and video, while consuming significantly less power than previous
generation image sensors, making it an attractive camera solution
for slim notebooks, tablets, handsets and other mobile devices that
require thin bezels.
"According to industry reports, high demand for HD sensors is
expected in the mobile devices markets over the next three years,
with approximately 400 million units per year for camera phones and
164 million units per year for notebooks*," said Arun Jayaseelan, product marketing manager of
front facing cameras at OmniVision. "The OV9734 can be integrated
into an extremely compact camera module, making it a highly
competitive, no compromise camera solution for the growing markets
of slim notebooks and mobile devices."
The 1/9-inch OV9734 CameraChip™ sensor can capture 720p HD video
at 30 frames per second (FPS) or VGA resolution at 45 FPS, meeting
the premium video quality specifications for popular video
conferencing platforms. The OV9734 utilizes OmniVision's
proprietary PureCel™ technology to reduce common imaging noise,
resulting in clean and crisp color images. Additionally, the OV9734
requires approximately 25 percent less power than previous
generation OmniVision HD sensors, at just 70mW.
To fit into ultra-thin bezel devices, the OV9734 comes in a
package with a y-dimension that is 47 percent smaller than the
previous generation OmniVision 720p sensors. The OV9734 is
currently available for sampling, and is expected to enter volume
production in the third quarter of 2015.
