Digital Imaging Systems (DIS) today launched the first 9-megapixel camera module for cellphones at Photokina 2008. The new module DIS6931 features auto focus, high quality lenses, mechanical shutter and ND-filter with integrated actuators. The module has ultra fast autofocus time of less than 300ms and a fast click-to-capture time of less than 200ms. The maximum resolution of the image taken from the camera module is 3488 x 2616 pixels and it can shoot videos at 30fps in 720p.
“We wanted to maintain our leadership in digital still camera (DSC) quality modules for mobile phones to create new market opportunities for handset manufacturers. With our ultra fast AF (auto-focus), the fastest mobile click-to-capture time and excellent picture quality, we are in a strong position to drive the convergence of mid-range DSC’s into mobile devices,” said Roland Pudelko, CEO of Digital Imaging Systems.
The pre-production samples of the DIS6931 camera module are available now; volume production is planned for end of Q4 2008.
