the silicon thickness to improve imaging sensitivity. Deep trench isolation was extended to address issues with crosstalk without impacting modulation transfer function. Wafer surface has been refined to improve the extended photon path and increase photon-electron conversion. The sensor achieves 25% improvement in the invisible 940-nm NIR light spectrum and a 17% increase in the barely visible 850-nm NIR wavelength over the first-generation technology. LED flicker mitigation and high dynamic range High-dynamic-range (HDR) imaging relies on algorithms to combined several image captures into one to create a higher quality image than native capture alone. LED lighting can create a flicker effect with HDR. This is a problem for machine vision systems, such as those used in autonomous vehicles. That is because LEDs are ubiquitous in automotive environments, from headlights to traffic lights, road signs and beyond. While the human eye can adapt to LED flickering, machine vision cannot. To mitigate this effect, OmniVision uses split-pixel technology. One large photodiode captures a scene using short exposure time. A small photodiode using long exposure simultaneously captures the LED signal. The two images are then joined in a final picture. The result is a flicker-free image. Products CMOS image sensors OmniVision CMOS image sensors range in resolution from 64 megapixels to below one megapixel. In 2009, it received orders from Apple for both 3.2 megapixel and 5 megapixel CIS. ASIC OmniVision also manufactures application integrated circuits (ASICs) as companion products for its image sensors used in automotive, medical, augmented reality and virtual reality (AR/VR), and IoT applications. CameraCubeChip OmniVision's CameraCubeChip is a fully packaged, wafer-level camera module measuring 0.65 mm × 0.65 mm. It is being integrated into disposable endoscopes and catheters with diameters as small as 1.0mm. These medical devices are used for a range of medical procedures, from diagnostic to minimally invasive surgery. The used OV6948 sensor has a size of and a resolution of 200 × 200 Pixel. LCOS OmniVision manufacturers liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) projection technology for display applications. In 2018, AR start-up, Magic Leap, adopted both OmniVision LCOS technology and sensor bridge ASIC for its Magic Leap One mixed reality products. 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
