New 720p Image Sensor Family Combines Compact Form Factor with High Performance for Ultra-Thin Mobile Devices

The OV01A family of image sensors is built on OMNIVISION’s most advanced 1.12‑micron PureCel®Plus stacked-die architecture to deliver best-in-class performance while maintaining an extremely small footprint. By enabling a camera module size of just 2.5 mm in the “y” dimension and less than 2 mm in the “z” dimension, the OV01A image sensor family is ideal for space-constrained applications such as notebooks and mobile devices with thin bezels.

To suit the performance requirements of different mobile applications, the OV01A is available in three versions: the OV01A10 Bayer color sensor, the OV01A1B monochrome infrared (IR) sensor and the OV01A1S RGB-Ir sensor.

Key highlights of each sensor:

  • OV01A10: Delivers excellent Bayer color imaging throughout the visible light spectrum
  • OV01A1B: Optimizes near-infrared (NIR) quantum efficiency for biometric imaging
  • OV01A1S: Combines RGB and IR imaging capabilities in a single sensor

The sensors can output 720p high definition (HD) video at 60 frames per second (fps), 1280 x 800 resolution video at 60 fps, or VGA video at 90 fps.
