'Image Sensors 2005 Report' Provides a Complete Review of the 2004 Market for Image Sensors, as Well as Annual Forecast Numbers Through 2009.DUBLIN Dublin, city, Republic of Ireland Dublin, Irish Baile Átha Cliath, county borough (1991 pop. 915,516), Leinster, capital of the Republic of Ireland, on Dublin Bay at the mouth of the Liffey River. , Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c27583) has announced the addition of Image Sensors An image sensor is a device that converts a visual image to an electric signal. It is used chiefly in digital cameras and other imaging devices. It is usually an array of charge-coupled devices (CCD) or CMOS sensors such as active-pixel sensors. 2005: Camera Phones Drive CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) Pronounced "c-moss." The most widely used integrated circuit design. It is found in almost every electronic product from handheld devices to mainframes. Past CCDs in 2004 to their offering. The image sensor market has continued to show sharp growth over the past year. CMOS sensors See CMOS image sensor. have ridden the camera phone wave to surpass CCDs in 2004. Camera phones shipped well over three times the volume of the next most successful image sensor application, digital still cameras. CMOS sensors have also been successful in low-end digital still cameras and web cameras. CCDs have been successful as well, especially in traditional point-and-shoot digital still cameras, camcorders, and security cameras. However, none of these applications are growing at nearly the rate of camera phones, leaving CCDs behind CMOS in shipments. In markets for linear image sensors, CCDs have been successful in high-speed applications such as digital copiers and flatbed scanners A scanner that provides a flat, glass surface to hold pages of paper, books and other objects for scanning. The scan head is moved under the glass across the page. Sheet feeders are usually optionally available that allow multiple sheets to be fed automatically. , while Contact Image Sensors Contact Image Sensors (CIS) are a relatively recent technological innovation in the field of optical flatbed scanners that are rapidly replacing CCDs in low power and portable applications. (CIS Cis (sĭs), same as Kish (1.) (1) (CompuServe Information Service) See CompuServe. (2) (Card Information S ) have been more popular in cost-sensitive applications, including fax machines and multifunction peripherals. This report provides a complete review of the 2004 market for image sensors, as well as annual forecast numbers through 2009. CCD CCD in full charge-coupled device Semiconductor device in which the individual semiconductor components are connected so that the electrical charge at the output of one device provides the input to the next device. , CMOS and CIS market shares for each application, in both units and revenues, are provided annually for the entire forecast period. Profiles of the world's leading image sensor suppliers are also presented. A recent report found the following: While CMOS has surpassed CCDs, CCDs are not going away. They maintain substantial market share in many camera applications, including mainstream digital still cameras, security cameras, and camcorders. CMOS sensors are having success in other camera markets as well, including low-end digital still cameras and Web cameras. Even with its increasing market share, CMOS revenues will be less than CCD revenues through 2005, due to high CCD volumes and ASPs in markets such as digital still cameras and security cameras. Supplier Profiles Include: A[micro] - Agilent A[micro] - Canesta A[micro] - Cypress Semiconductor A[micro] - Eastman Kodak A[micro] - ESS Technology A[micro] - Fuji A[micro] - MagnaChip A[micro] - Matsushita A[micro] - Micron A[micro] - Mitsubishi A[micro] - Nikon A[micro] - OmniVision Technologies A[micro] - PixArt Imaging A[micro] - Pixim A[micro] - Samsung A[micro] - Sharp A[micro] - Sony A[micro] - STMicroelectronics A[micro] - Toshiba A[micro] - TransChip A[micro] - Trusight For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c27583 |
