Pixart Ships VGA Sensor for Mediatek Reference Design

Digitimes: Pixart enters mobile sensor market with VGA sensor for MediaTek 62-series handset reference design, according to the newspaper's sources. The sensors are shipped to Compal and Arima and manufactured at UMC 8-inch fab. The sensors are packaged with XinTec's chip on glass (COS) bonding technology.

Pixart is expected to ship 2-3 million sensors per month in 2010. The shipments are likely to jump to 5 million units per month in 2011, according to Digitimes' sources. The margins are said to be low, so these products only account for a single-digit share of Pixart's total revenues.
