 Smallest 1080p HD image sensor - OmniVision sets world record
 SANTA CLARA, Calif., USA -- OmniVision Technologies has introduced its OV2720 high-definition (HD) CMOS image sensor that measures a mere 1/6 of an inch, and supports full 1080p HD video recording at 30 frames per second - setting the new world record for the Smallest 1080p HD image sensor.

   The OV2720 is the world’s first 1/6-inch, native 1080p/30 high-definition (HD) CMOS image sensor designed for notebook, webcam and video conferencing applications.

   "Increased broadband capability, inexpensive high-quality image sensors and the increasing availability of high-quality external and embedded PC web cameras will drive both consumer and business video conferencing," said Brian O'Rourke, principal analyst at In-Stat.

   The World's Smallest 1080p HD image sensor is based on what OmniVision calls its 1.4-micron OmniBSI backside illumination technology (pdf), which the company claims offers "conference-quality" HD video recording.

   The OV2720 also supports multiple platform architectures and controllers, meaning that companies can build this camera module into a wide array of devices (theoretically including Arduino-based setups).

   The OV2720 is the first 1/6-inch sensor to offer native 1080p HD resolution. Native HD enables full field of view video with optimized image quality, sensitivity, color reproduction and clarity because no scaling or cropping is required to achieve HD resolution.

    The 1.4-micron OmniBSI pixel achieves best-in-class low light sensitivity of 680-mV/lux-sec, while enabling extremely thin modules with a z-height of 3.5 mm. Moreover, the OV2720 can use binning to further increase its low-light performance to double that of similar-sized VGA sensors.

    The OV2720's outstanding low-light performance and slim form factor combine to make it an ideal choice for tier-one notebook manufacturers.

    The World's Smallest 1080p HD image sensor is currently being tested and is planned to go into mass production in June 2010.
