Talk:OmniVision Technologies

Untitled
This page reads like an ad, but googling OVT will give you a number of hits other than the company itself. It seems to me though that most of the edits are done by IPs that are probably associated with the company. I reformatted the article to be a bit smoother and formatted the references a bit better. Added a endnotes section. --Patrick Berry 20:31, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

OmniVision and new iPhone
OmniVision received orders from Apple for next generation iPhone CMOS image sensors. Maybe a worthwhile addition to the article?

OmniVision Reorganization Changes Requested
Page name changed from OmniVision Technologies to OMNIVISION. (or redirect to new page)

All references to OmniVision Technologies be changed to OMNIVISION

Info Box Updates [S1]UPDATE REFERENCE WITH NEW CORP FACT SHEET

Introduction Text be changed to the following:

OMNIVISION is a global fabless semiconductor organization that develops advanced digital imaging, analog and touch & display solutions for multiple applications and industries, including mobile phones; security and surveillance; automotive; computing; medical; and emerging applications.

Headquartered in Santa Clara, California, OMNIVISION has 30+ offices in the US, Western Europe and Asia. It has a total of 10 R&D centers throughout Norway, Belgium, Japan, Singapore, China and the US.

In 2016, OMNIVISION was acquired by a consortium of Chinese investors consisting of Hua Capital Management Co., Ltd., CITIC Capital Holdings Limited and Goldstone Investment Co., Ltd. In 2019 Will Semiconductor successfully acquired Beijing OmniVision Technologies and other underlying assets.

Addition to Timeline:

·       2022: OmniVision Technologies rebranded to OMNIVISION and added two new business units, analog solutions and touch & display solutions.

Addition to Technology Section

Dual Conversion Gain High Dynamic Range Technology

OMNIVISION’s patented dual conversion gain (DCG) high dynamic range (HDR) technology extends an image sensor’s dynamic range and enable accurate scene reproduction in challenging lighting conditions. It uses dual sampling of the photo-generated charge, with both pixel level high and low conversion gains. High conversion gain readout enables lower read noise and lower conversion gain enables higher full well capacity. This extends the low light range of the image sensor delivering accurate, low-noise and motion artifact-free HDR captures.

Selective Conversion Gain Technology

Selective conversion gain technology (SCG) technology enables the optimal image quality and best signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) across all lighting conditions.

By connecting the high and low conversion gains with the SCG switch, selective charge detection for an optimal readout path is possible. The additional conversion gain and SCG switch accommodates extremely bright and dark image readouts in one image sensor, while delivering excellent image quality.

The technology enables image sensors to select an optimal readout path to eliminate image saturation in extremely bright light conditions and reduces the noise level in ultra-low light environments.

Change/Addition to Markets and Applications

The digital imaging market has converged into two paths: digital photography and machine vision. While smartphone cameras drove the market for some time, since 2017, machine vision applications have driven new developments. Autonomous vehicles, medical devices, miniaturized security cameras, and internet of things (IoT) devices all rely on advanced imaging technologies.

OMNIVISION’s portfolio of analog products include power management devices, such as LED drivers, DC-DC switching and linear voltage regulators, and voltage references along with special function devices, such as USB power switches, load switches, and interface devices. The discrete products include ESD/TVS, MOSFETs, insulated-gate bipolar transistors, and Schottky diodes.

OMNIVISION’s Touch and Display Driver Integration (TDDI) products include LCD TDDI, OLED DDIC and discrete touch solutions for mobile, PC and automotive applications.

OMNIVISION products are designed for the following market segments:

·       Mobile

·       Automotive

·       Security

·       IOT/emerging

·       Computing

·       Medical

Add bullet to the end of "The following are examples of OMNIVISION products that have been adopted by end-users:

·       The Dell Latitude 5000, 7000, and 9000 series laptops are built using OMNIVISION’s OV02C image sensor. ·       The Dell Latitude 5000, 7000, and 9000 series laptops are built using OMNIVISION’s OV02C image sensor.
