Development of Three Camera Module Models for Automotive Electronics and Industrial Equipment

Nippon Chemi-Con has developed three models of camera modules.

  • For automotive electronics (embedded devices) – DSP built-in 1.23M pixels camera module NCM12-FC;
  • For automotive electronics and industrial equipment – DSP built-in 1M pixels camera module NCM10-FC;
  • For automotive electronics – LVDS communication DSP built-in 1.23M pixels camera module NCM12-FE.

We promote development of high-performance camera modules that apply the technology we have cultivated in automotive applications, such as dashboard cameras. We also promote high-quality manufacturing through domestic production. These points have been highly praised by customers.
The three newly developed camera modules are ideal for advanced driver assistance systems and vehicle safety, which are becoming increasingly popular year by year.

NCM12-FC
The NCM12-FC equips an AEC-Q 100 Grade 2 compliant in-vehicle 1.23M pixel CMOS image sensor and image processing engine. It operates under bright sunlight during the day, reduce noise in low-light environments, and portray natural and realistic images in both light and dark environments. We also have a wide variety of lenses.

Samples and Mass Production
The NCM12-FC is already available as samples and mass production is scheduled to start in August 2021.
