OmniVision has a new 13MP PureCel Plus-S sensor
OmniVison might not be a household brand name, but chances are you
might have used a device equipped with one of its 8MP sensors at one
time or another, it is a popular selfie shooter choice. The company is
also behind the camera equipment used in Google's spatial mapping
project Tango, so the expertise is definitely there.
The manufacturer's latest addition to the sensor lineup is the
OV13870, as already mentioned a 13MP sensor. This might not sound all
that impressive in terms of resolution, but the reality is that on
mobile, manufacturers have started focusing a lot more on expanding the
size of sensor pixels to improve overall quality and OmniVision is
following to the trend.
The OV13870 has a new 1.25-micron PureCel®Plus-S pixel architecture.
It is said to deliver best-in-class performance with major improvements
to low-light photography and reduction is crosstalk. All this is
packaged within a relatively small module, maintaining an optical format
of 1/2.6-inches and a total height of 5.2mm, ideal for thin
smartphones. It also has dual camera compatibility, which is perfect for
use in multiple aperture setups like the one on the LG G5 for example.
On the specs side of things, the OV13870 can capture 13MP still at a rate of 45 fps and is also capable of ultra-high resolution 4K2K video at 60 FPS, 1080p full high definition (HD) at 240 FPS, or 720p HD at 300 FPS with binning and cropping.
OmniVision says the OV13870 is currently available for sampling and should enter mass production in Q2 2016.
