OMNIVISION, a developer of semiconductor solutions, including digital imaging, analogue, and touch & display technology, announced its latest innovation: the OP03050. This is a low-power, compact liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) panel that combines the LCOS array, driving circuit, frame-buffer, and interface into a single chip. The OP03050 offers a high-resolution, immersive experience, making it ideal for real-time video conferencing and streaming in augmented reality, extended reality, and mixed reality glasses and head-mounted displays.
Devang Patel, Marketing Director for the IoT and emerging segment at OMNIVISION, commented on the growing trend of smart eyewear: “Smart eyewear is becoming the next sought-after mobile phone accessory, increasingly favoured for their fashionable, smaller, and lightweight designs. The high pixel pitch of the OP03050 enhances image quality, providing a more immersive viewing experience. While the consumer market drives the demand for smart glasses, their immersive quality also makes them valuable for B2B applications in the medical, engineering, and aerospace sectors.”
The OP03050 LCOS panel features a 3.0-micron pixel pitch and offers a display resolution of 1560×1200 at 120 Hz, ensuring low-latency performance. It is housed in a 0.23-inch optical format within a small FPCA package and supports a 4-channel MIPI-DSI interface. Samples of the OP03050 are currently available, with mass production scheduled for the second half of 2024.
