OmniVision's OV23850 is a high performance PureCel-S™
package 23.8-megapixel image sensor that bring DSC-like image
quality and performance to flagship smartphones. The
1/2.3-inch OV23850 captures stunning ultra-high resolution
images and video while enabling advanced digital imaging
features.
The sensor utilizes OmniVision's new stacked die technology
which separates the imaging array from the image sensor
processing pipeline into a stacked die structure. This enables
additional sensor functionality, such as phase detection
autofocus (PDAF), two-dimensional contrast fast autofocus
and high dynamic range (HDR) video, while maintaining a
much smaller footprint.
The OV23850 outputs 16:9 format video of up to
4.5-megapixels operating at 60 fps, enabling clear video
preview on smartphone displays. It is capable of recording
quad high definition (QHD) video at 30 fps in HDR mode to
enable 'always on' HDR preview mode. Additionally, the
sensor supports 720p high definition (HD) video at 120 fps,
and 1080p HD video at 90 fps for crisp, slow motion video
recording.
The OV23850 fits into a 10.5 x 10.5 mm module with a
z-height of 5.7 mm.

Supporting an active array of 5632 x 4224 pixels

(23.8 megapixels) operating at 24 frames per second (fps),
the OV23850 is the highest resolution image sensor
currently available that captures images and video in a
4:3 aspect ratio.
