DigitalOptics wins MEMS smartphone device order in China
Guangdong Oppo Mobile Telecommunications Corp., Ltd (OPPO), a Chinese smartphone OEM, has placed the first 'mems|cam' volume production purchase order with DigitalOptics Corporation (DOC).
DOC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Tessera Technologies, Inc.
The mems|cam module provides speed, power, and precision advantages compared to VCM (voice coil motor) camera modules and enables highly differentiated features when coupled with DOC's sophisticated software.
"We are proud to announce that OPPO and DOC are exclusive launch partners. OPPO will be the first smartphone OEM to incorporate mems|cam products in volume," says John Thode, president of DigitalOptics Corporation.
"OPPO has an excellent premium brand in China as demonstrated by the September 23 launch of the innovative N1 Smartphone platform. Integrating mems|cam modules into OPPO's best-in-class smartphones will bring an exciting computational imaging user experience that further delivers on OPPO's brand promise."
There has been speculation on who would be the first to bring the significant benefits of mems|cam to the mobile imaging market. Digital Optics says that last week, several technology news blogs reported that mems|cam was first being brought to market in another smartphone platform and that those reports were inaccurate.
DigitalOptics Corporation designs and manufactures innovative imaging systems for smartphones. The company leverages it expertise in optics, camera modules, MEMS and image processing to deliver pioneering products that expand the boundaries of smartphone
OPPO is an international technology brand committed to designing beautiful technology products with an open attitude.
