OMNIVISION, a leading global developer of semiconductor solutions, including advanced digital imaging, analog, and touch & display technology, today announced the OV08X, the industry's only 9.2 megapixel (MP) CMOS image sensor with pixel size at 0.7-micron, enabling 4K resolution in a 1/5.7-inch optical format. The OV08X can be used in the most stringent 4 mm y-dimension module laptops with 16:10 (1920x1200) aspect ratio monitors. It is the first image sensor for the laptop market to integrate a four-cell color filter array and on-chip hardware remosaic, providing high-quality, 9.2 MP Bayer output in real time.

"Users no longer have to rely on their external webcams for high-quality video calls. OMNIVISION's OV08X image sensor allows high-end and flagship notebook designers to create the thinnest possible devices with high-resolution 4K cameras," said Akeem Chen, product marketing manager, OMNIVISION. "We have also addressed many work- and learn-from-home user needs with the new OV08X, including autoframing, human presence detection, and high dynamic range (HDR) image capture."
