After a long period of downturn, the consumer electronics industry has finally ushered in the dawn of recovery. Recently, media reports have reported that Samsung Electronics has issued a CIS price increase notice to customers, with an average increase of up to 25% in the first quarter of next year, and some products have seen the highest increase of up to 30%. The price increase mainly focuses on products with specifications above 32 million pixels.
According to data, CIS, also known as Contact Image Sensor, is the core component of camera modules and is widely used in fields such as mobile phones, consumers, computers, security, automobiles, and industry. Among them, mobile phones are the largest end-user market for CIS.
At present, there are a total of 52 ISOCELL image sensor models listed on Samsung's official website. This includes familiar models such as GN5, GN2, JN1, HP2, HP3, etc. Earlier this month, Samsung also released a 50 megapixel ISOCELL GNK camera sensor, which integrates dual pixel technology and advanced HDR technology, and has a size of 1/1.3 inches and a pixel size of 1.2 micrometers.
In recent years, with the increasing penetration rate of the new energy vehicle and intelligent vehicle markets, the demand for automotive semiconductors has skyrocketed, and the demand for CIS is also the same.
The industry has revealed that a L2 car requires approximately 8-12 CIS cars. Compared to consumer grade CIS cars, in car CIS cars are relatively less price sensitive. Under the same performance, in car CIS cars are more expensive and have a larger value space. At the same time, as cars continue to move towards intelligence and autonomous driving, "vision" has become a crucial step, which will also make automotive CIS very useful in the future.
