The battle for smart phone performance extends to dual-lens Korean industry to accelerate research and development

The smart phone component industry is racing to develop next-generation technologies such as optical photography, 3D photography, and iris recognition. Due to the competition of the rear lens of the flagship smartphone, it has been upgraded to the limit of 16 million and 20 million pixels, so the competition among operators It also began to extend from the battle of pixels to the battle of performance. According to a report by ET News, industry news has revealed that South Korea’s major lens module companies such as LG Innotek, MCNEX and NAMUGA have taken the lead in research and development due to the selection of dual-lens manufacturers of smart phone products. Samsung Motors (Semco) will also mass produce dual lenses in 2016. Among the smart phones of Korean brands, the LG Electronics V10's first dual-lens is the product produced by LG Innotek, and the next-generation flagship smartphone G5, which is scheduled to be launched in March 2016, is also rumored. Comes with a rear dual lens. In addition, Samsung Motor is also negotiating with customers in Greater China for the supply of dual lenses. In fact, in addition to the Korean and mainland mobile phone manufacturers, Apple's main mobile phone lens supplier Da Liguang, recently revealed that the company will have important customers in 2016 to introduce dual-lens design, triggering speculations whether Apple will also Grab this wave of introduction of dual lens. If Apple really uses the dual lens design in the next generation of iPhone, it will further lay the dual lens as the mainstream of future mobile camera module design. The new products of dual-lens smart phones have continued to increase, which is due to the competition of smart phone lenses, which has been extended from pixels to performance. Since the rear lens level looks at 20 million pixels, the development is on the verge of extremes, so the performance competition that allows mobile phone users to actually feel the upgrade effect will only become more intense in the future. Although there are still upward opportunities for lens pixels in low-end smartphones, for the flagship phones that already carry high-resolution lenses, the fierce competition in other functions can be imagined. In the case of LG Electronics' V10, the dual lens is mainly used for optical photography, but in fact, the dual lens can achieve a lot of performance. The first is to separately shoot the background and the subject with two lenses at the same time, which has the effect of improving the image quality. The principle is to match the background and the subject, and then shoot them at different focal lengths. The focus time is also shorter than conventional lenses. After fingerprint recognition, the most eye-catching iris recognition security authentication technology needs to be completed through dual lens. In addition, 3D photography that can present a sense of distance must also use a dual lens. Once the twin-lens is mainstream, the computing technology competition will be officially launched. After all, simply installing two lenses does not allow for a wide variety of functions, and various techniques such as dual-lens image synthesis to image processing must be developed. According to industry insiders, dual-lens is now mainly used in optical photography, but it can actually be used to implement many other functions. The ability to master the algorithms of image synthesis and processing is the key to success.
