The main and sub camera market is growing, consequent upon the expansion of the 3G market, especially in smartphone and notebook applications. The attach rate of sub-cam to cell phones reached 20 percents in 2009 and is expected to exceed 23 percents in 2010. For the main-cam market, an increase of the attachment rate in different applications. Which is accelerating and is a must for the future. The above three graphs content provided by: T.S.R.

Wafer-level camera module technology reduces the size of a camera’s module and is cost saving comparing to traditional camera modules.
Using wafer-level technology to manufacture wafer-level camera module, wafer-level lens are diced into individual lens modules and are mounted on top of a packaged image sensor. The finished goods can be implemented into cell phones or NB cams directly.
