LG Innotek reveals the Optical Telephoto Zoom Camera Module for the first time in CES - Seite 2

For the smartphone manufacturers, less modules will result in providing more space inside the phone, and in enhancing the battery efficiency. This is the reason that the industry is focusing the interest in LG Innotek's 'Optical Telephoto Zoom Camera Module'. 

• Image quality and durability enhanced through accumulated optical technology, and 'Camera Bump' removed

'Optical Telephoto Zoom Camera Module' is applied with the exclusive optical technology of LG Innotek that is accumulated for almost 20 years.

Above all, the demand for optical zoom module by the global customers are increasing, and LG Innotek's strategy is to preoccupy the market quickly by emphasizing the differentiated technology, this company is focusing on the camera module business capabilities.

LG Innotek developed the zoom actuator (component for moving the lens to change the focal distance or to set to the clean focus) to realize clear and clean image quality in all sections between the 4~9 times magnification.

Zoom actuator is a key component of the camera module that has definitive impact to the image quality.  To obtain the high-definition filming material, the zoom actuator must move the lens quickly and accurately to set the focus.  Especially, the 'Optical Telephoto Zoom Camera Module' has long lens moving distance (length of the lens moving section), so controlling the moving distance accurately is very important. 

The zoom actuator developed by LG Innotek not only provides accuracy compared to the existing component, but also high moving speed and durability with less battery consumption. LG Innotek's zoom actuator is also added with the control technology of moving the lens precisely in micrometer (㎛, 1m per 1 million) unit.

Moreover, the OIS (Optical Image Stabilizer) applied with the new design method reduces the blur phenomenon from shaking, and increases the definition. As the zoom camera can show the shaking more clearly, OIS is considered a key function.

In addition, the module thickness was minimized to remove the 'camera bump'. In the general optical zoom module, the focal distance is longer in the higher magnification to result in thicker module, and to solve this problem, LG Innotek newly innovated the lens design and module structure.

• Join hands with Qualcomm Technologies to optimize software for Optical Continuous Zoom and speed up joint promotion

LG Innotek's plan is to solidify the global No. 1 position in the smartphone camera module market through the 'Optical Telephoto Zoom Camera Module'.
