The ICG-20660L’s highly accurate production
tolerances enables easy manufacture of mainboard OIS
InvenSense, Inc., (NYSE: INVN), a leading provider of MEMS
sensor platform solutions, announces a breakthrough mainboard
optical image stabilization (OIS) solution with its ICG-20660L, a
6-axis (3-axis accelerometer + 3-axis gyroscope) integrated MEMS
motion sensor optimized to support optical image stabilization, as
well as a newly developed technology for macro image stabilization
(OIS-Macro). The ICG-20660L can be found in the recently announced
Xiaomi Mi5 smartphone. This is a significant advancement in
smartphone imaging, as it further enhances and expands on
InvenSense’s leadership in 2-axis dedicated solutions on camera
modules meeting the most demanding imaging applications, while
enabling adoption of OIS with expanded capabilities in the main
board of smartphones.
With the huge popularity of smartphone cameras, OEMs are looking
for ways to enhance that experience with OIS across their product
portfolio, while maintaining aesthetically pleasing industrial
designs. Furthermore, the lightweight and very portable nature of a
smartphone form factor makes it ideal for one-handed use and close
up photography, or macro mode, where the photographer may be
capturing the details of a beautiful flower. Macro photography,
however, magnifies hand jitter beyond the capabilities of existing
OIS solutions, especially in a small form factor phone. The
ICG-20660L addresses this challenge by allowing the OIS-Macro
motion sensor to be placed on the main board of a phone without the
need for dynamic calibration at the phone level during production.
This solution not only enhances the photography experience; it also
allows creation of a compact camera module while reducing the total
system cost, as dynamic calibration is no longer needed due to
InvenSense’s unique ability to accurately control tolerances needed
for main board OIS.
The innovative hardware inside the ICG-20660L opens a new
frontier for image stabilization performance in smartphones,
enabling macro and telephoto photography where subject is zoomed
in. These are functions the high end digital still cameras have
long enjoyed over smartphones cameras. With main board OIS,
InvenSense once again sets a new a standard for smartphone imaging
solutions.
The InvenSense 6-axis ICG-20660L and its gyro-only 3-axis
ICG-20330L version are in production and available to customers.
