Toshiba announced its FY2011 results and targets for FY2012. One of the main targets in Electronic Devices business is to "expand its share in CMOS sensor for digital cameras by achieving low power consumption, high image quality sensor technology." The company intends to do it by "increasing the human resources assigned to development."
Meanwhile Toshiba released a new flyer for its 8MP 1.12um pixel T4K05 BSI sensor. It appears to be a production version, as most TBD lines from the preliminary flyer have been deleted.
Market share is great, everyone should increase it.
ReplyDeleteWhat about the second part - "increasing the human resources assigned to development"?
DeleteSounds expensive. They should increase market share first.
Deleteor are they now lead candidate to acquire aptina?
ReplyDeleteIt seems to me omnivision is the top of the list to buy aptina.
ReplyDeleteWhy on earth would OV by Aptina? More manufacturing capacity? No. New customers? No. Patents? No, they just bought Kodak's. More engineering capacity? Too expensive compared to China. Best idea is to hire a few key people and leave the rest.
ReplyDeleteBest idea is to get their act together again
