 TransChip CMOS camera module for phones at 3GSM : TransChip, a leading developer of integrated camera solutions for camera phones, announced that it will demonstrate a variety of auto-focus and optical zoom AlgoCam TC7040 camera solutions at 3GSM World Congress this coming week in Barcelona, in Hall 2, booth E09/E10. TransChip's new auto focus and optical zoom features enable camera phones to achieve the same performance and picture quality that, to date, has only been attainable with digital still cameras. The company recently announced the release of its second generation fully programmable, CMOS camera module, the TC7040, which offers exceptional color sensitivity in low lighting conditions.

"We have partnered with a number of leading technology providers to demonstrate that our programmable imagers can work with any combination of lenses and lens-motion technology," said Rutie Adar, TransChip Director of Product Marketing. "The auto-focus and optical zoom features enable the highest level of photographic quality and the sharpest images for both closeup and panoramic images."
TransChip technologies
TransChip will demonstrate its auto-focus solutions using a number of different technologies:
• Voice-coil technology, using a NanoFocus' HYSonic actuator that offers high reliability
• Electro-wetting technology using the Varioptics Arctic liquid lens, which can focus at extremely close distances, such as 4 centimeters, with no moving parts
• Piezo electric technology using the Johnson Electric's NanoLens highly accurate actuator, which provides fast convergence in less than one second
• Piezo electric technology using 1's low power Helimorph actuator
• Extended focus technology, enabling all parts of image to be in focus without moving the lens.
TransChip AlgoCam TC7040 CMOS camera module
TransChip's AlgoCam TC7040 contains an embedded control function, which enables the auto-focus solution to gather statistics on a raw captured image to determine the exact direction and distance by which the lens must be moved in order to achieve the sharpest image. The company will also demonstrate an optical zoom feature of 3x, using Johnson Electric's NanoZoom lens module, which works in wide and tele-modes similar to digital still cameras.
