Toshiba Introduces 3 Image Sensors and 2 Camera Modules

VirtualPressOffice: Toshiba introduces 3 new 1.75um pixel-based image sensors and 2 new chip scale camera modules (CSCM) for handset market. To my knowledge this is the first time Toshiba public presents 1.75um pixel products. It's quite late, considering that most of its rivals annouced 1.75um pixels a year or two ago.

The new sensors are a 2MP 1/5" SoC sensor, a 3 MP 1/4" SoC sensor and a 5 MP 1/3" sensor.

The modules are based on Toshiba’s through chip via technology to allow mounting and assembly of camera components in the chip wafer during manufacturing. It reduces the overall module size, resulting in a smaller design footprint. The two CSCMs are a 2MP 1/5" SoC and 3MP 1/4" SoC.

The 2 MP SoC sensor is priced at $10 per unit, the 3 MP SoC sensor at $15 per unit and the 5 MP CIS senso $20 per unit, all 10K quantities. All sensors and CSCMs are sampling now.
