Gpixel is poised to emerge as the preeminent CMOS image sensor provider in China in the very near future.
ReplyDeleteThat's funny. Great you have so much believe in your employer, or maybe you're trying to boost your stocks. But there already are a few very big established Chinese image sensor vendors. Surely, Gpixel has a great team. But so does OMNIVISION, or SmartSens. And they won't budge easily. Time may prove you right or wrong - but nontheless your comment is entirely unsubstantiated. So unless you have actual insights to share, maybe keep your fanfare to yourself...
DeleteOmniVision’s distinguished foreign executives have already departed the company. SmartSens’s CEO is an American citizen. Gpixel stands as the sole company to have successfully achieved internationalization.
DeleteWhen Xinyang Wang left CMOSIS after just four years to found Gpixel in 2012, one could say he didn’t leave empty‑handed. But in a twist of poetic justice, this turned out to be a happy coincidence: Gpixel went on to innovate at full speed, while CMOSIS, after being absorbed by ams, seemed to misplace not only its entrepreneurial spirit but also its innovation roadmap. In hindsight, it almost feels like CMOSIS’s best contribution to the future was exporting its know‑how before it was lovingly bureaucratized out of existence.
ReplyDeleteOne should said Dr. Wang didn't leave empty-headed...
DeleteThe rapid growth / innovation seemingly accelerated quite a bit when former CMOSIS people joined either Gpixel China or Gpixel in Antwerp, Belgium.
