24‑Megapixel Image Sensor Family for High-End Smartphone Cameras

OMNIVISION’s OV24B family is the second generation of its 0.9 micron, 1/2.83‑inch optical format 24 megapixel (MP) image sensors, built on the PureCel®Plus stacked die technology. This family is designed for high-resolution front- and rear-facing smartphone cameras, with cutting-edge technologies and design enhancements that enable differentiated features and excellent imaging performance.

The image sensor family is available in four versions:

  • OV24B1Q: 4-cell Bayer imaging with pad locations on the top and bottom of the chip to reduce module size in the x-direction, ideal for front-facing cameras in thin-bezel infinity display phones
  • OV24B2Q: 4-cell Bayer imaging with type-2, 2×2 microlens phase detection autofocus (ML PDAF), ideal for main cameras due to video and low-light performance
  • OV24B1B: Monochrome imaging; excellent low-light sensitivity; ideal for rear-facing multi cameras for Bokeh and zoom
  • OV24B10: Standard Bayer imaging; ideal for main cameras as a single camera or as part of a multi-camera arrangement for Bokeh and zoom

The OV24B family’s combined features of on-chip re-mosaic, 2×2 ML PDAF, and high-speed video capability enable mobile cameras to provide the very best user experience for autofocus, low-light performance, and high-resolution video and still image capture. The on-chip re-mosaic feature, available in the OV24B1Q and OV24B2Q, makes it possible to have real-time conversion between high-performance quarter resolution and full resolution 24MP outputs. The OV24B2Q’s new 2×2 ML PDAF enables faster autofocusing over standard PDAF, even in extremely low light conditions.

All four versions can output high-resolution streaming video in a variety of formats, including full-resolution 24MP, 4-cell binning 6MP, 4K2K, 1080p and 720p.
