Basic Functionality of Lenses
Lens is a device which can receive light signal and gather the concentrated signal to the sensitive device CMOS / CCD. Lens determines the light rate of the sensor, and its overall effect is relative to a convex lens.
Sensor Types in Camera Modules
Current Sensor Categories
For now, sensors are mainly divided into two categories, one is CMOS, the other is CCD, and now CMOS is a trend.
Compatibility of Lenses with Sensors
For the lens, a lens can only be used for one kind of sensor, and the size of the general lens should be consistent with that of the sensor.
Future Trends in Smartphone Camera Modules
Additional PCB Components
The front and back cameras of smart phones will require additional PCB components in the future.
Dynamic Ecosystem of CMOS Camera Modules
The ecosystem of CMOS camera module is highly dynamic. A new round of innovation is in progress.
Profit Margins for Camera Module Manufacturers
Large camera module manufacturers are looking for opportunities to increase profit margins.
