Kamera tako mala...

Well-known developer of image sensors OmniVision announcedthat one of its latest developments was in the Guinness Book of records as the world's smallest sensor with the smallest camera. This OV6948 sensor and camera OVM6948 CameraCubeChip. Side of the image sensor are 0,575 × 0,575 mm, and the size of a fully functional camera ― 0,65 × 0,65 × 1,158 mm.

The main purpose of the camera OVM6948 CameraCubeChip is the creation of disposable endoscopes for medical purposes. With this camera the endoscope will not exceed 1 mm, which allows you to visually explore even the small blood vessels in the patient's body.

Traditional endoscopes are too large and can cause discomfort during medical procedures, and require careful and not always effective disinfection in case of multiple and intensive use. According to the recent recommendations by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), for example, medicine should go to disposable endoscopes that OmniVision apprehended as the guide to action.

The resolution of 1/36"sensor OV6948 equal to 200 × 200 pixels. Focal length: 3 to 30 mm. viewing Angle is 120 degrees. Capture speed reaches 30 fps. Consumption camera no more than 25 mW. Camera interface ― 4-pin, and built-in drivers that provide the transmission of a signal for transmission over 4-meter cable with minimum noise.

In addition to the medical-purpose miniature camera OmniVision OVM6948 CameraCubeChip will find application in industrial equipment, IoT and other devices about which we do not even know. This is enough for us to rely on the ingenuity of the Chinese. Cheap, manufactured directly on silicon wafers the image sensors, which are Packed in the camera modules can be used in toys, consumer electronics and many other areas.
