在影像感測器的市場中,隨著手機附帶照相功能成為標配,CMOS影像感測器顯著地快速發展。在近14億支智慧型手機的市場中,99%配備相機,數量上CMOS感測器已經超過CCD感測器。此外新的應用上多數業者目前為止也多採用CMOS感測器。另一方面CCD所仰賴的DSC(數位相機)市場成長需求已結束,且由於照相手機使用CMOS感測器,因此成為CCD成長的障礙。
In the market of image sensors, CMOS image sensors have developed remarkably rapidly as the mobile phone comes with a camera function as a standard. In the market of nearly 1.4 billion smartphones, 99% are equipped with cameras, and the number of CMOS sensors has exceeded that of CCD sensors. In addition, most of the new applications have adopted CMOS sensors so far. On the other hand, the market demand for DSC (digital camera) that CCD relies on has ended, and because the camera phone uses CMOS sensors, it has become an obstacle to the growth of CCD.
