Recently, China issued a clear-wood CMOS camera modules 2009-2010 global industry research report. We can see from the report, CMOS camera module industry is still dominated by Japanese companies. FUJINON is the number one a Fuji film, more than 300 million pixel camera phone market share of over 50% of the area.
camera phone module industry chain is very complex. Camera phone module industry chain, three core points, one CMOS image sensor, and second optical lens and the third is the module assembly factory. With the rise in mobile phone camera pixels, packaging manufacturers have become increasingly important, and module assembly manufacturers increasingly lonely. CMOS image sensor manufacturers can be combined with optical components, specially packaged and shipped directly to the mobile phone manufacturers; also professionally package shipped to module assembly factory after factory. CMOS image sensor manufacturers can not cut the wafer to form the package shipped to the COB module manufacturers. Optical components manufacturers have the ability to do some type of COB module assembly. CMOS image sensor manufacturers usually have three, one is an affiliate of the wafer manufacturers, and the other is a large IDM companies, the third category is the traditional digital camera manufacturers. Omnivision and the world largest wafer foundries close, the difference between the two joint venture companies. Aptina was formerly a subsidiary of MICRON memory manufacturers, foundries by MICRON responsible. SETI is a foundry in eastern Annan affiliates. Samsung, Toshiba, STMICRO is IDM. The third category is the traditional digital camera manufacturers, producing high-performance CMOS image sensor, the output is low, price is high, mainly Sony and Canon. Sharp, Kodak, Fuji also has production capacity. CMOS image sensors must rely on the wafer in order to stabilize production and reduce costs, fab can also use the CMOS image sensor business to fill the 8-inch fab capacity, both win. If it is a pure IC design company, is not competitive at all. Lens field is the field of optical components, optical components need to gain deep experience in the manufacturing process, the threshold is high, very high gross margins. Many electronics manufacturers trying to get super vertical supply chain, but is especially difficult in optical field. Not only the high threshold, optical manufacturers are highly dependent on human resources, rarely willing to be acquired. FUJINON is the Fuji film one, more than 300 million pixel camera phone market share of over 50% of the area. KMOT is Konica Minolta optical components division, and Fuji film, as is well-known optical manufacturers, the same focus on high-end products. Dali light and matt have been Japanese manufacturers technical support. In particular, matt, Japan Sekon, OLYMPUS, Ricoh, Nikon, Sony have been in the technical guidance and help to establish a joint venture with matt or. Dali light and smart camera manufacturers are closely related, APPLE, HTC, RIM is its three major smart phone manufacturers a loyal customer. KANKATSU, TAMRON, Hitachi Maxell, three are Japanese manufacturers, the first two are traditional camera lens manufacturers. In 2009 the market share of mobile phone camera lens camera module manufacturers manufacturers usually divided into three categories. The first category is the CMOS image sensor manufacturers for integration of resources, expansion of the vertical system established module manufacturers. Toshiba will be the end of 2007 most of the camera module to complete the business entrusted to other manufacturers after 2008 on the semiconductor factory in Iwate Prefecture-house camera module business. Sharp is a CCD camera module manufacturers, accumulated very rich experience, monthly production capacity of approximately 9.8 million units. STMICRO, too, has a leading CMOS image sensor technology. Samsung, too, part of Samsung by Samsung Electro-module business entrusted to, part of yourself. The second category is the phone on behalf of the factory or mobile phone, notebook computer components manufacturers. Foxconn, BYD, VISTAPIONT are the mobile phone manufacturing giant. There is a relatively small component of mobile phone manufacturers, usually with the LCD field experience in the clean room area with resources, such as LGINNOTEK, Truly Semiconductors, ALPS. Chicony is the world largest notebook computer keyboard manufacturers, almost monopolized the laptop camera module business. The third category is a professional manufacturer of optical fields, such as KMOT and Dyna.
