Cellular Phones Drive Image Sensor Market

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Cellular phones have developed as the largest market for image sensors and have become the primary application for CCD and CMOS image sensors, according to a report from iSuppli Corp. of Segundo, Calif. Published in November, the compilation, titled “CCD and CMOS Image Sensors: Handset Market Driving the Industry,” indicates that cellular phone handsets accounted for 15 percent of total CCD shipments in 2005 and predicts that they will make up 30 percent of the shipments by 2010. Handsets were the dominant application for CMOS sensors, accounting for 88 percent of total shipments in 2005, and...Read full article

    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
