Yesterday, it was revealed that OFILM has a large number of new technologies that have been mass-produced.
Moreover, it began to supply to the leading domestic manufacturers.
Who are you referring to?
After all, the mass-produced image black technology mentioned in the revelations has been seen on the Huawei Pura70 Ultra.
Many friends should have heard of OFILM's name.
As a manufacturer of precision optical components in Nanchang, OFILM mainly tinkers with various camera-related equipment.
For example, sensors, lenses, and under-display fingerprints on mobile phones, front-to-back cameras on cars, streaming electronic rearview mirrors, and the like.
Partners cover almost all the mainstream technology companies you know, like Xiaomi, Huawei, OPPO, vivo, and so on.
Of course, OFILM's most famous big customer was Apple.
Even the cooks went to their factory twice and walked around.
In 2019 alone, OFILM won 11.7 billion revenue from this "specific customer".
But then word came out that Apple kicked it out of the supply chain.
Although OFILM denied the three links at the beginning, the stock price seems to have told us the answer.
However, last year, OFILM was rekindled.
In Q3 of 2023 alone, the net profit will reach 54.32 million.
You must know that at the same point in time in 2022, OFILM still has a net loss of 2.4 billion.
As for why he suddenly made so much money, let's not say.
Someone broke the news that OFILM supplied the lens module of the Huawei Mate 60 series.
However, OFILM responded: There is a confidentiality agreement, and it is inconvenient to answer.
It's as if nothing has been said, and it's as if everything has been said.
Here's the spicy question.
What are the highlights of the batch of mass-produced technologies mentioned earlier?
Floating macro/periscope telephoto macro
In the past two years, the most successful brush to the presence of the telephoto macro.
It is undoubtedly the "75mm Leica floating telephoto" on the Xiaomi 13 Pro, and the "ultra-macro telephoto camera" on the Xiaomi Mi 13 Pro.
The lenses are divided into two groups, and the group close to the sensor is made into a movable design.
When shooting close objects, the lens group is moved back to achieve the closest 10cm focus.
When shooting long shots, the lens group can be moved forward to an infinite distance.
In this way, the Xiaomi Mi 13 Pro's 3x telephoto lens can both achieve regular long shots and macro shooting.
Previously, most mobile phones were dedicated to a low-pixel macro lens to occupy space, or the macro function was integrated into the ultra-wide-angle lens.
After all, the minimum focusing distance of the ultra-wide-angle lens can be about 2.5cm, and it is easier to do macro.
But in contrast, shooting macro with an ultra-wide-angle lens requires the phone to be held very close.
In this way, it is easy to block the light during shooting, and the film is very dark.
The experience of coming out is very average.
If you shoot macro with a telephoto, you don't have to worry about low light.
Burning goose, this Leica floating telephoto is actually an exclusive feature of the 13 Pro.
Even the esteemed 13 Ultra is not equipped with this technology, which is really stupid.
Fortunately, on this year's Xiaomi 14 series, the floating macro function has finally become the standard configuration of the whole series, which is worth a thumbs up.
The Huawei Mate13 RS, which predates the Xiaomi Mi 50 Pro, also uses floating macro technology.
But Huazi made it into the periscope telephoto.
Under the ultra-long focusing stroke of the periscope telephoto, it is theoretically easier to realize the function of telephoto macro.
The actual effect is also very fierce, 35x super macro, and it is almost a microscope.
Of course, the appearance of telephoto macro can also be seen on recent models such as the vivo X100 series, Huawei Pura70 series, etc.
Chip stabilization
With traditional OIS optical image stabilization, the stabilization angle is around ±1° due to the limitation of space on the phone.
Useful, but limited in effect.
So manufacturers began to tinker with anti-shake technology in different directions.
Like vivo's micro gimbal, OPPO's 5-axis suspension stabilization is done by suspending the entire lens module
way to achieve a more stable effect.
The situation of taking up space is also very serious.
Like the ultra-stable anti-shake micro gimbal of vivo X50 Pro, the lens of 4800W pixels occupies a larger board area than a 100 million pixel + OIS.
As the sensor gets bigger and bigger, continuing to use this practice is obviously not conducive to the thinness of the mobile phone.
So the operation of anti-shake by moving the sensor chip is coming.
As early as the iPhone 12 Pro Max, sensor-shifted optical image stabilization was used.
To put it simply, when the phone shakes, the sensor (CMOS) shakes with it, eliminating the impact of jitter as much as possible.
Those who are familiar with photography may have gotten it, but in fact, this is just the body stabilization of the camera.
Including the latest Huawei Pura70 Utlra, which also uses the same principle of stabilization technology.
Although the effect may not be as good as that of a monster-level module such as a micro-gimbal, it is lightweight.
像华为 Pura70 Ultra，厚度仅有 8.3mm。
It can be regarded as a balance between the stabilization effect and the thin and light body.
Telescopic lens module
Also in order to find a balance between stacking and thinness, there are also telescopic lenses that many people pay attention to.
Attention, this is not the previous Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom's optical zoom telescopic that can zoom in and out.
Rather, it's a telescopic lens like the Huawei Pura70 Ultra for compressor body thickness.
The reason why Huawei is doing this is actually quite easy to understand.
Extra-large 1-inch sole, variable aperture up to F1.6, sensor-based displacement stabilization.
Such a fierce pile of material is all put in one main camera.
If you don't do a telescopic lens, there is a high probability that the thickness of the fuselage will fly.
It has also been reported that there are already other leading manufacturers testing telescopic lens solutions.
However, the direction is different from Huazi, and it is placed on the periscope telephoto.
It's up to you to see what the final result will be.
Obviously, this series of technologies has appeared on various imaging flagships.
Now OFILM has the ability to mass produce and supply, and it is possible to popularize models in different price segments in the future.
It was also mentioned in the revelation that continuous optical zoom has completed the technical breakthrough.
At present, the lenses on mobile phones are actually prime lenses.
For example, the Xiaomi Mi 14 Ultra has two telephotos, 3.2x and 5x.
The middle multiple, like the 4x zoom, is actually algorithmically cropped on the basis of the 3.2x lens.
If the continuous optical zoom is successfully landed, it means that the middle section is a real optical zoom.
This technology has landed on the Sony Xperia 1 series.
Burning goose, Dafa chose a small bottom, and the effect of dark light is not good.
If domestic manufacturers can make continuous light changes, plus a variety of image stacking.
Tsk, I can't even think about how strong that should be.
I don't know which domestic mobile phone brand will be the first to use this continuous light change technology?
