Advasense Cooperates With Creative Sensor Inc. to Deliver World's Smallest 5MP Autofocus Camera Module for Mobile Phones.5 Megapixel, Quarter-Inch Format ASIO5 Imager to Be Demonstrated at Mobile World Congress 2009 RA'ANANA, Israel -- Advasense Technologies Ltd., a leading provider of CMOS image sensor A CMOS-based chip that records the intensities of light as variable charges similar to a CCD chip. Although initially used in less expensive digital cameras, the quality of CMOS sensors has improved steadily. CMOS sensors have advantages over CCDs. products for the cameraphone mass market, announced today that the company is working with Creative Sensor Inc., ("CSI CSI Crime Scene Investigator CSI CompuServe, Inc. CSI Commodity Systems, Inc. CSI Commodity Systems Inc. (Boca Raton, FL) CSI Crime Scene Investigation (CBS TV show) CSI Christian Schools International ") [TSEC See Taiwan Stock Exchange. :8249], a leading manufacturer of contact image sensor 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. modules, to create the world's smallest 5-megapixel autofocus autofocus Noun a camera system in which the lens is focused automatically Noun 1. autofocus - an optical device for focussing a camera or other instrument automatically Compact Camera Module ("CCM CCM Contemporary Christian Music CCM Critical Care Medicine CCM County College of Morris (New Jersey) CCM Chama Cha Mapinduzi (political party, Tanzania) CCM CORBA Component Model ") for the mobile phone mass market. Advasense's ASIO5[TM] - a 5-megapixel, quarter-inch optical format, 1.4u FCP[TM] CMOS Image Sensor (CIS Cis (sĭs), same as Kish (1.) (1) (CompuServe Information Service) See CompuServe. (2) (Card Information S ) is incorporated into the CSI autofocus CCM, measuring just 8.3mm x 8.3mm. Advasense will be demonstrating the ASIO5 imager at Mobile World Congress 2009 in Barcelona, 16-18 February. "CSI has had extensive market success in creating robust, packaged imaging products for many years," commented Kevin Yang, Director of Marketing & Logistic Division at Creative Sensor, Inc. "Utilizing Advasense's ASIO5 CIS enables us to offer high quality autofocus 5Mpixel CCM functionality to our customer base, for cost-effective and rapid incorporation into the latest mobile phone designs." "Increasingly challenging demands from the market are requiring higher image resolutions from even smaller imager dimensions," said Arie Gavriely, director of marketing and business development for Advasense. "CSI has enabled a smaller, more robust package, providing a compelling proposition for handset manufacturers looking to deliver exceptional image quality from camera-enabled mobile devices." As a result of tremendous size constraints on mobile phone imager footprints, smaller pixel sizes, with inherent light sensitivity and dynamic range issues, are being developed to enable those higher resolutions, but with corresponding degradations in image quality. Advasense's FCP[TM] - Feedback Controlled Pixel - maintains high performing, yet smaller pixels with True Dynamic Range, True Colors and On Chip True Image Stabilization. About Advasense Advasense is a privately held fabless semiconductor company A fabless semiconductor company specializes in the design and sale of hardware devices implemented on semiconductor chips. It achieves an advantage by outsourcing the fabrication of the devices to a specialized semiconductor manufacturer called a semiconductor foundry or "fab. that provides high quality, high resolution CIS products to the mobile phone market. Advasense's patented Feedback Controlled Pixel (FCP) technology advances image quality. For more information, please visit http://www.advasense.com. About Creative Sensor, Inc.
