Asia Optical expects to ship one million 12x optical zoom digital cameras in 2008, fast growth of camera phones to continue

2008-02-20 22:56:00 by Maximus in Just Another Mobile Phone Blog
 
...Wafer level lenses (which will enable the cost-effective production of 3-4,000 optical lenses from a single wafer) are expected to bring increasing price pressure upon makers of VGA phone camera lenses. Wafer-level lenses may completely replace VGA lenses in 2010, but will be unable to substitute relatively high-resolution 1.3 megapixels or...
