OMNIVISION's Small 720p High Definition Sensor for Next-Generation Notebooks and Mobile Devices

The OV9734 is an ultra-compact and power efficient CameraChip™ image sensor designed for slim notebooks, tablets, handsets, and other devices that require a thin bezel. Built on OMNIVISION’s PureCel® technology, the OV9734 CameraChip™ delivers premium quality images and video, while consuming significantly less power than previous generation image sensors.

OMNIVISION’s 1/9‑inch OV9734 is capable of capturing crisp 720p HD video at 30 frames per second (fps) or VGA video at 45 fps, while consuming approximately 25 percent less power than the previous generation 720p sensor. Additionally, the OV9734 meets the video quality specifications for popular video conferencing platforms.

To fit ultra-thin bezel devices, the OV9734 comes in a compact package that can meet 2.5 mm z‑height and is 47 percent smaller in y‑dimension compared to the previous generation 720p sensor.

The OV9234, a black and white version of the OV9734, is also available as a dedicated IR camera solution for facial recognition and other biometric applications. Both sensors are available in CSP and COB packaging.
