Electronics CMOS display image opto SensorOMNIVISION TECHNOLOGIES OV60A 0.61 micron (µm) pixel high resolution CMOS image sensor expands the capabilities of next-generation mobile phone cameras. Device offers 60 megapixel (MP) resolution among the tiniest pixel size in its class. Product can fit into a 1/2.8 inch optical format in either 3:4 or 16:9 aspect ratio configurations. The 4-cell color filter array on the device uses near pixel binning to output up to 15MP images with 4X the sensitivity offering 1.22µm equivalent performance for preview and native 4K video with extra pixels for electronic image stabilization (EIS). The sensor also supports low power mode for ‘always on’ sensing that can save precious battery life when paired with the phone’s artificial intelligence functions.
