13 MP OmniVision OV13850 image sensor for mobile devices

17.11.2013

OmniVision Technologies introduced the OV13850 13MP image sensor. Combining the most advanced manufacturing process and design methods, it achieves best-in-class energy efficiency and image quality in low and high light, according to the manufacturer. The 13850 MP OmniVision OV13 image sensor is designed for smartphones and tablets.

The optical format of the OV13850 is 1/3,06 inches and the resolution is 4224 x 3136 dots. The sensor supports shooting video at a frame rate of 30 fps and the transition at any time from shooting photos to shooting video or vice versa. Shooting in 4K2K at 30 fps with electronic image stabilization is possible. In 1080p, the frame rate increases to 60 fps. If you agree to lower the frequency to 30 fps, you can shoot video with high dynamic range (HDR).

For the external design of the OV13850, a standard size for camera modules of 8,5 x 8,5 x 5 mm was chosen, which, according to the manufacturer, will simplify the transition to the OV13850 from the currently used sensors of lower resolution. Evaluation samples of the sensors are now available.

The manufacturer expects to start serial deliveries in the current quarter.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>
