Pixelplus Co. Ltd. (PXPL), a leading semiconductor company in Korea that designs, develops, and markets CMOS image sensors for various consumer electronics applications, announced that the Company’s highly customized PO4010 CIF ‘System-On-A-Chip’ image sensors will be featured in Samsung Electronics’ mobile camera phones.

Pixelplus specified that the company has already begun initial shipments of their PO4010 sensor to Samsung Techwin. Samsung Techwin will assemble and supply completed modules that incorporate the Company’s PO4010 for use in upcoming mobile camera phones.

Specifically, the PO4010 chip is based on Pixelplus’ PlusPixel2 technology and is one of the industry’s smallest and most compact sensors. The Company developed the PO4010 in response to the increasing demand for ultra compact camera modules embedded in mobile devices such as third generation (“3G”) mobile phones with dual camera functionality. These phones utilize two image sensors, a CIF image sensor for videoconferencing, and a higher megapixel image sensor for taking digital photos.
