CMOS-dominated mobile device sensing market

Nowadays, the camera equipment has been continuously updated, and various high-efficiency functions have been continuously improved, making the sensor requirements of the camera equipment higher and higher. In the past, the CCD sensor was used for processing, but this can no longer meet the requirements of modern photography. CMOS Gradually occupy the dominant position of mobile devices such as cameras.

CMOS is an important chip in computer systems, and it saves the most basic data for system guidance. Today's CMOS image conversion technology not only serves the "traditional" industrial image processing, but is also accepted by the increasingly wide range of novel consumer applications with its superior performance and flexibility. CMOS sensors have become an integral part of digital cameras such as cell phone cameras, and CCD sensors will gradually withdraw from the stage of history.

It is reported that CMOS sensor companies shipped a total of about 2.1 billion last year, an increase of 31% compared with 1.6 billion in 2010, while the CCD sensor last year's shipments decreased from 184.5 million in 2010 to 180.3 million in 2010 One, dropped by about 2%.

For now, the smart phone market is still the largest application market for CMOS sensors in the future. Last year's share accounted for 79% of the total CMOS shipments. In addition, laptops are generally equipped with cameras, and videoconferencing will become the second largest market for CMOS applications. In addition, the application of CMOS sensors in two growth markets, such as security monitoring and automotive systems, is also on the rise.
