OmniVision released the first 200 million pixel resolution image sensor with a pixel size of only 0.61 microns

     OmniVision, the world's leading developer of semiconductor solutions for advanced digital imaging, analog, touch and display technologies, today announced the OVB0B at CES 2022 - 200 million pixel resolution with a pixel size of only 0.61 microns Image sensor for smartphone cameras. The OVB0B uses a unique 16-in-1 pixel binning to provide extremely high video and preview quality in 12.5-megapixel mode, especially in low-light environments. The OVB0B is the first 200-megapixel image sensor to offer 100% Quad Phase Detection (QPD) technology for excellent autofocus performance.

     "Consumers want to capture high-resolution images and enjoy high-quality previews and videos. As a leader in image sensor technology, we have applied PureCel® Plus-S die stacking technology to significantly improve the performance level of the main camera in mobile phones," Arun Jayaseelan, Product Marketing Manager of OmniVision, said, "With the new OVB0B, we provide high-end smartphones with ultra-high resolution and excellent low-light performance in a small package."

     OVB0B adopts the industry's first 0.61um 16-in-1 pixel binning technology, which can shoot 4K/2K video with 16 times the sensitivity. In low-light environments, it achieves 12.5 million pixel performance (2.44 micron equivalent pixel size). The on-chip pixel restoration algorithm supports 50-megapixel video at 24 frames per second and 8K video shooting at 30 frames per second (1.22 micron equivalent performance). The OVB0B also supports three-exposure interlaced HDR video output at 12.5M resolution and 30 frames per second.

     Jeffrey Mathews, Senior Analyst at Strategy Analytics, said: “This new 200-megapixel image sensor product for smartphone cameras promises to capture pictures in stunning detail. Mobile phone vendors are actively seeking to adopt high-resolution This image sensor will meet their needs for enhanced cameras that differentiate their mobile phone offerings. We expect to deliver over 40 million image sensors with over 100 megapixel resolution to smartphone vendors in 2022 ."
