OmniVision completes acquisition of CDM Optics : OmniVision Technologies reported today that it has completed the previously announced acquisition of privately held CDM Optics, and that CDM has become a wholly owned subsidiary of OmniVision. All of CDM's 18 employees are expected to stay with CDM at its existing location in Boulder, Colorado. CDM is the exclusive licensee of a patented technology, known as Wavefront Coding, that substantially increases the performance of an imaging system by increasing the depth of field and/or correcting optical aberrations within the image. Wavefront Coding is expected to significantly reduce the size and complexity of the auto-focus function on future camera modules utilizing OmniVision sensors.

OmniVision Technologies, one of the world's leading suppliers of CMOS image sensors, reported today that its OV5610 5-megapixel camera chip has achieved eight design wins in the digital still camera (DSC) and video camera markets. These design wins represent the first uses of a 5-megapixel CMOS image sensor to process both still and video images in mass market consumer devices. The market introduction of the OV5610 last September marked the industry's first high-end CMOS sensor that competes head-to-head with similar CCD devices. Up to this point, single-chip CMOS image sensors have served the low-end DSC market, while CCD sensors have served the high-end DSC and camcorder markets. With these design wins.
