Duplex Smartphone Cameras

The Corephotonics Smartphone Camera Blends Two Different Lense Images

— May 13, 2014 — Tech
Corephonotics, a company spun off of Israel's Tel Aviv Univesity, has developed a smartphone camera that uses the combined output of two compact lenses. This enables actual zooming of the camera, unlike most phone cameras which don't actually zoom but simply enlarge the pixels, resulting in grainy photos.

The Corephotonics smartphone camera has a wide-angle lens and a telephoto lens, each of which is equipped with its own sensor. Data from the two sensors is blended by on-board software to produce a single composite image. The camera also offers improved low-light performance along with four times the resolution of a run-of-the-mill smartphone camera.

Phones featuring the Corephotonics camera system are expected to hit the market in the first quarter of 2015.
Trend Themes
1. Dual Lens Smartphone Cameras - The integration of two different lenses in smartphone cameras is a trend that helps improve image quality and zooming capabilities.
2. Low-light Performance Enhancement - The trend toward better low-light smartphone camera performance using improved lens and sensor technology offers opportunities for disruptive innovation in this space.
3. Improved Smartphone Camera Resolution - The trend towards improved smartphone camera resolution using better optics and algorithms offers opportunities for disruptive innovation in this space.
Industry Implications
1. Smartphone Manufacturing - Companies involved in the manufacturing of smartphones can take advantage of the trends related to dual lens camera systems and better low-light and resolution performance in order to gain a competitive edge.
2. Camera Lens Manufacturing - Manufacturers of camera lenses can capitalize on the trend towards integrating two different lenses in smartphone cameras to help improve image quality and zooming capabilities.
3. Image Processing Software - Companies that specialize in image processing software can take advantage of the trends related to improving low-light performance and resolution of smartphone cameras in order to provide innovative solutions to consumers.
