Micron announced availability of the MT9V012 low power stand alone sensor and MT9V112 SOC VGA sensor which are being delivered to handset manufacturers throughout Asia, Europe and the US. The sensors demonstrate Micron's ability to shrink the form factor of image sensors while maintaining leadership in image quality and low cost supplier position. The sensors are designed for the low cost and small size camera modules suitable for low and mid-tier mobile handset models, as well as dual-mode cameras, high end and 3G Smartphone models. "Our commitment to quality is apparent in our new 1/6-inch VGA sensors' capability to capture crisp, sharp images even under poor lighting conditions," commented Micron's Director of Marketing Farhad Rostamian.
Micron Technology, Inc., announced sampling of the new MT9D011 low-power 2-megapixel CMOS image sensor to mobile handset makers, worldwide. Micron’s exclusive DigitalClarity technology delivers exceptional performance capabilities in all lighting situations and is able to accomplish this while drawing very little current from the power supply. With consumers increasingly demanding higher resolution cameras in handsets ranging from cell phones to PDAs and 3G Smartphones, Micron is pleased to provide an image sensor that approaches the richness of true life while maintaining cost advantages only possible through digital photography using CMOS image sensors.
