OV Group Launches New Small-sized, Low-Power Global Shutter Image Sensor OG0TCGS for AR/VR/MR

TapTechNews July 11th news, OV Group today launched the latest generation of small-sized, low-power global shutter image sensor - OG0TCGS, used for AR/VR/MR tracking cameras.

According to the introduction, OG0TCGS is the first global shutter image sensor using OV Group's single-exposure DCGHDR high dynamic technology for AR/VR/MR, enabling ghost-free high dynamic range imaging.

OG0TC has a package size of 1.64mm x 1.64mm and is mainly used to optimize the inward-tracking camera. Since multiple cameras are needed to track various parts of the face (eyes, eyebrows, lips, etc.), this small size is relatively important for industrial design. OG0TC is pin-compatible with OV Group's previous-generation BSIGS image sensor, facilitating an upgrade.

OV Group stated that the power consumption of OG0TCBSIGS image sensor has further reduced by more than 40%. Pin compatibility enables customers to upgrade to OG0TC, reducing power consumption without modifying the design and enjoying new features such as DCG technology.

TapTechNews summarizes the main functions of OV OG0TCGS as follows:

Adopts OV Group's PureCelPlus-S wafer stacking technology.

Uses OV Group's patented DCGHDR technology with a resolution of 400x400 and a pixel size of 2.2 microns, and adopts a 1/14.46-inch optical format.

The Nyxel technology can achieve the best quantum efficiency at the 940-nanometer near-infrared (NIR) wavelength to obtain images of moving objects.

Compared with the previous-generation sensor, the power consumption at a 30 frames per second frame rate is reduced by 40%.

The high modulation transfer function of the sensor makes the image clearer, with higher contrast and richer details.

Supports flexible interfaces, including multi-point MIPI interface, CPHY interface, etc.

OG0TCGS image sensor is now sampling and has been put into mass production.
