Variable aperture and telescopic modules have achieved continuous mass production, and a large number of manufacturers may follow suit
Recently, OFILM, a supply chain company, disclosed its latest progress in the field of camera modules to the outside world. The company has achieved continuous mass production of a number of technologies, including floating macro modules, periscope telephoto macro modules, chip stabilization, variable aperture and telescopic modules. The successful mass production of these technologies marks the further consolidation of OFILM's technological leadership in the field of camera modules, but some commentators believe that this will mean that a large number of mobile phone manufacturers will follow up and use new designs such as telescopic modules.
It is understood that the high-pixel super resolution algorithm and super EIS anti-shake algorithm independently developed by OFILM have reached the top level in the industry and are widely praised by customers. Variable aperture and telescopic modules have been continuously mass-produced, 10x continuous zoom technology has completed technical research, and advanced modules and process technologies such as lens &VCM (voice coil motor) & module process integration, process integration, and design integration are being actively studied.
At present, OFILM has successfully achieved mass production in the fields of high-end products such as 7P optical lenses, periscope telephoto lenses, dual-group focusing lenses, and variable aperture lenses, and has successfully entered the supply chain of domestic mainstream mobile phone manufacturers. While maintaining technological innovation, the company has also successfully developed cutting-edge lens projects such as 8P high-pixel main camera, three-group continuous zoom, and glass-plastic hybrid.
It is worth mentioning that OFILM once provided camera modules and other products for Apple's iPhones and other devices, but later due to various reasons, it was removed from the supply chain by Apple, coupled with Huawei's restrictions, with a net loss of 4.1 billion yuan to 5.2 billion yuan in 2022. However, in 2023, the sudden turnaround and revenue increased by 13.73% year-on-year, and many comments believe that this may be related to the return and popularity of Huawei Mate 60 series mobile phones, but OFILM's response to this is "it is inconvenient to answer with a confidentiality agreement".
However, in any case, as one of the key components of smart phones, the performance of the camera module directly affects the user's photo experience, with the continuous maturity and mass production of OFILM's technology, more manufacturers may follow up in the future, using these advanced camera module technologies to add new vitality to the current increasingly "involution" smartphone market, and bring better products to consumers, which is worth looking forward to.
