OmniVision announced the details of a 5 megapixel auto-focus camera module for mobile handsets based around the OV5623 CameraChip sensor. The 14mm x 14mm x 8.75mm module is equally well suited to DSC video and hybrid camera applications. The CameraChip sensor at the heart of the 5 megapixel module has an optical format of just 1/2.5 inches and a 2592 x 1944 image array with digital image stabilization capability. A 10-bit A/D converter enables the OV5623 to operate at 7.5 frames per second (fps) in full resolution or 60 fps at a 864 x 648 resolution for enhanced video viewing on a TV screen. The OV5623 is built using OmniVision's proprietary OmniPixel2 technology, a pixel design manufactured using 0.13-micron CMOS process technology. OmniPixel2 is critical to the sensor's high dynamic range and truer-to-life color reproduction. The OV5623 design incorporates OmniVision's zero-gap micro-lens structures, improving the overall sensitivity of the device. In addition, the sensor's improved quantum efficiency optimizes image performance by further increasing full well capacity - the amount of charge an individual pixel can hold before saturating.
