Santa Clara, California – October 4, 2022 – OmniVision Technologies, a leading developer of advanced digital imaging, analog, touch screen, and display technology semiconductor solutions, announced the launch of its new OS04L CMOS 4 Megapixel (MP) image sensor. The OS04L delivers 2K resolution digital images and HD (high definition) video for consumer security devices such as smart home cameras, doorbells, baby monitors, IP, and HD analog cameras. The OS04L sensor enables manufacturers to economically upgrade camera resolutions from 2MP/3MP to 4MP using a small pixel size sensor in a 1/3-inch optical format.
The OS04L image sensor features a 2.0-micron pixel size utilizing OmniVision’s OmniPixel®3-HS technology. This high-performance, cost-effective solution employs high-sensitivity front-side illumination (FSI) to achieve true color reproduction in both bright and dim conditions.
Cheney Zhang, Senior Marketing Manager at OmniVision, stated, “The OS04L enables consumer security devices to seamlessly upgrade camera resolutions to 4MP, while its pricing is comparable to 2MP and 3MP sensors. This is particularly important given the growing demand for entry-level smart home devices worldwide, where customers are seeking high-performance and cost-effective products.”
A report from Grand View Research, Inc.1 indicates that the global smart home market is expected to reach $537 billion by 2030, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 27% from 2022 to 2030. In 2021, the security and surveillance sector accounted for the highest revenue share of approximately 31%.
The OS04L image sensor offers 30 frames per second at 2K resolution and features a 2×2 binning mode to enhance sensitivity. The OS04L supports the MIPI interface.
The OS04L will be available for sampling in Q4 2022 and will enter mass production in Q1 2023.
