On May 16, 2024, Shanghai, China - Sitewe (Shanghai) Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. (stock abbreviation: Sitewe, stock code: 688213) launched a new series of image sensor products for laptop and tablet applications, SC521PC (5MP) and SC200PC (2MP). Both new products adopt advanced SmartClarity-3 technology from STW, which has multiple performance advantages such as high sensitivity, low noise, and ultra-low power consumption. SC521PC and SC200PC are designed based on the left and right PAD structure, suitable for rectangular module space, and can be used for ultra-thin frame cameras on mainstream PC devices such as laptops and tablets.
SmartClarity-3 integrates SFCPixel patented technology for a high-definition imaging experience that is not afraid of low light exposure
Office and learning, as the mainstream use of laptops and tablet devices, are mainly equipped with built-in cameras to meet the needs of remote video conferencing, video calls, online classes, and other remote video conferencing needs. With the continuous reduction of the thickness and weight of PC devices, the user scenarios for remote work and education are becoming increasingly flexible and diverse. From indoor mobility to outdoor portability, diverse usage scenarios have raised higher requirements for the sensitivity, clarity, and dynamic range of PC device cameras. The two new image sensor products, SC521PC and SC200PC, adopt STW's advanced SmartClarity-3 technology and are designed based on a backlit architecture, integrating SFCPixel technology. They can bring stable, clear, and low light free smooth images to PC device cameras, fully meeting the multi scene high-definition video needs of PC devices.
high sensitivity
The two new backlit products, SC521PC and SC200PC, are both equipped with STW SFCPixel patented technology, which can significantly improve conversion gain, photosensitive performance, and quantum efficiency. The sensitivity of SC521PC and SC200PC is as high as 698mV/lux · s and 741mV/lux · s, respectively. Therefore, even in dimly lit environments such as cloudy indoor and outdoor evenings, SC521PC and SC200PC can also bring smooth and clear imaging effects to PC device cameras.
low noise
Based on ultra-low noise peripheral reading circuit technology, SC521PC and SC200PC have excellent noise control performance. Taking SC521PC as an example, compared to competitors of the same specifications in the market, The dark field dynamic noise of SC521PC is reduced by about 13% compared to competitors, and the fixed mode noise is reduced by about 70% compared to competitors. The low noise performance of SC521PC and SC200PC can bring higher image quality to PC cameras, making the details of the imaging image clearer.
High dynamic range
The SC200PC supports multiple exposure stacked HDR mode, which can effectively improve the dynamic range performance of PC device cameras. In HDR mode, SC200PC can help PC device cameras capture richer picture details, avoiding overexposure, distortion, blurring, and other situations in environments with significant differences in light and dark, ensuring realistic, delicate, and transparent color effects.
Ultra low power consumption helps improve device endurance
The overall battery life is one of the key performance of PC devices. The SC521PC and SC200PC adopt ultra-low power design, The typical energy consumption of SC521PC is only about 87mW (30fps), The typical energy consumption of SC200PC is only about 80.6mW (60fps), which performs better than competitors of the same specifications in the market. This is beneficial for reducing overall energy consumption and improving battery life while ensuring high-quality imaging effects.
Under the trend of high screen to body ratio in PC devices, the main screen borders of terminal products such as laptops and tablets are further reduced. SC521PC and SC200PC are designed based on a left and right PAD structure, which can form an ultra narrow rectangular module, suitable for mainstream PC devices with ultra-thin screen frame cameras, helping PC devices achieve "full screen" transformation.
At present, SC521PC and SC200PC have been mass-produced in Q2 2024.
