2.9 µm Image Sensor Enables High-Quality, Low-Light Video for Smartphones

OMNIVISION’s OV02K is a video-centric, 2.9 µm 1080p image sensor designed for smartphones. Built on our PureCel®Plus pixel technology, the OV02K allows the secondary camera in multi-camera configurations to capture high-quality videos, even in very low ambient light conditions. With the increasing demand from smartphone users for high-quality video, particularly for social media sharing, the OV02K is perfect for capturing super-high-quality video captures even in a wide variety of environments.

The OV02K’s 2.9 µm pixel size imparts it with greater sensitivity and very low noise, resulting in an SNR10 of less than 10 lux. This sensor, which comes in a 1/2.8″ optical format, features 1080p resolution at up to 120 frames per second (fps), suitable for either standard or slow-motion video capture. It also supports up to three exposures of staggered timing to enable high dynamic range (HDR), and supports frame-to-frame dual conversion gain (DCG™).
