LG Innotek announces the arrival of a new revolutionary photo sensor which should come to integrate the next smartphones. A new rear photo sensor which aims to improve the quality of the optical zoom of your smartphone.
The smartphone market has been constantly evolving our phones for a few years with more or less major innovations. The biggest revolution of the last two years is, in our opinion, foldable or “rollable” screens and the arrival of 5G. But for many manufacturers in recent years, the focus has been on the cameras and photo sensors offered by smartphones. One, two, three then four rear sensors with wide-angle, ultra-wide-angle, zoom, telephoto…
And for good reason, the smartphone has become in some ways the camera of our time. Taking photos, selfies, videos for influencers, tik tokers… LG Innotek announces the arrival of a new development in the field.
The LG Rollable unveiled on YouTube by a Korean channel that managed to acquire one of the copies that had been sold only to staff before LG decided to stop its…
A new optical zoom for LG Innotek.
The information was announced by Jeong Cheol-dong the CEO of LG Innotek in a Press release published by the company.
“Smartphone cameras will evolve in the direction of improving optical zoom performance centrally on high-end smartphones”
in practice, therefore, it is an “optical zoom camera module with telephoto lens” which was specially developed for smartphones. The purpose of this new sensor is to allow, as for a camera, to take images and video without degrading the quality of the image. Even when zooming at long distances.
Thus, LG Innotek announces that it can perform magnifications ranging from 4x to 9x without loss of quality in the image or video. In addition, this new solution for taking photos on a smartphone should allow the reduction of the blur phenomenon due to vibrations or the stability of the smartphone.
In addition, this new solution should also make it possible to reduce the “thickness” of the sensors so as to reduce the “bump” generated by the photo sensors on the rear face of current smartphones.
In addition, LG Innotek and Qualcomm Technologies are working closely together to optimize continuous optical zoom software which will be applied to the new Snapdragon® 8 Gen 2 premium mobile platform. It will improve custom picture adjustment for optics, which includes auto focus, auto exposure, auto white balance, lens shading correction and much more.
