• TDK SmartMotion ® High performance optical image stabilization (OIS) solutions are widely applicable to various devices such as smartphones, tablets, and cameras, helping to achieve clear and stable image and video shooting
• A new generation of sensing solution customized for OIS, ensuring image stability and good image quality even in low light environments
• The ICM-536xx series inertial measurement unit (IMU) has started mass production and is available for specific customers through direct sales channels
TDK Corporation (Tokyo Stock Exchange code: 6762) launches new SmartMotion ® The ICM-536xx series high-performance six axis IMU is available for supply to specific customers. The new series of components aims to promote the application of OIS functionality in consumer devices such as smartphones, tablets, and cameras, helping to achieve clear and stable image and video capture. InvenSense, a subsidiary of TDK Group, has been committed to developing high-end OIS (optical image stabilization)/EIS (electronic image stabilization) customized sensor solutions for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of smartphones and cameras for 15 years, with rich experience and strong technical capabilities. The company's newly launched ICM-536xx series products are expected to promote the application of high-end OIS/EIS functions to more mobile devices.
OIS technology can effectively compensate for shooting interference caused by hand tremors and movements, ensuring clearer photos and smoother videos even in low light environments, as well as zoom and long exposure photography. With the continuous growth of consumer demand for high-quality mobile imaging, OIS has gradually become one of the essential features of mid to high end smartphones. The all-new ICM-536xx series products support an output data rate (ODR) of up to 6.4 kHz and a data resolution of up to 20 bits, effectively optimizing photo quality and enabling manufacturers to integrate advanced OIS functionality into a wider range of devices, meeting the growing diversity needs of makers and daily users.
OIS has always been regarded as a high-end feature of high-end models due to the cost, size, and power consumption limitations of the required sensor technology. ”Pankaj Aggarwal, Vice President and General Manager of the Consumer and Industrial Motion Sensing Division at TDK Group's InvenSense, stated that TDK's new ICM-536xx series products effectively address these challenges, providing a mainstream solution with thinner packaging, lower power consumption, and guaranteed performance. ”
