LG Innotek reveals the Optical Telephoto Zoom Camera Module for the first time in CES

• With the clean and vivid image quality, filming is possible in all magnifications of 4~9 times
• Image quality enhanced through accumulated optical technology, and 'Camera Bump' removed
• Optical telephoto zoom camera module software optimized with Qualcomm Technologies to accelerate the joint promotion

SEOUL, South Korea, Dec. 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Innotek introduced the world's first product to prove again its global position as the world's No. 1 camera module company.

LG Innotek (CEO Jeong Cheol-dong) announced on the 27th that the 'Optical Telephoto Zoom Camera Module (hereafter referred to as the Optical Zoom Camera)' will be revealed for the first time in the world on the world's largest IT and home appliances exhibition of 'Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2023'. 

Optical telephoto zoom camera module is a micro-component developed for the smartphone by integrating the telescopic camera functions that were mostly applied to the professional cameras such as DSLR or mirrorless camera.  It is mounted on the rear side of the smartphone to enable the image and video to be taken without image quality degradation even when zooming from long distance.

The technology of LG Innotek in the optical telephoto zoom camera module field is unrivaled. LG Innotek also received the 'CES 2023 Innovation Award' recently with the optical telephoto zoom camera module.

By applying LG Innotek's 'optical telephoto zoom camera module' to the smartphone, optical zoom filming is possible in the high-magnification of 4~9 times section. There are two main types of zooming, optical and digital. Unlike the digital zoom that simply magnifies the size of the image to have serious quality degradation, optical zoom camera moves the lens directly to zoom the subject, which has advantage of maintaining the high image quality.

The main advantage of this product is that optical zoom camera filming is possible in all magnifications freely in the sections of 4~9 times with one module. 

In contrast, existing 'fixed zoom module' enables optical zoom camera filming only in the specific magnification, and digital zoom is applied to other magnification sections. For example, both the 4-time and 9-time fixed zoom modules must be mounted for filming in high-definition in the two magnifications of 4 times and 9 times.
