OmniVision orders for iPhone expected to rise significantly in 2010
OmniVision Technologies is expected to see CMOS image sensor (CIS) orders for Apple's iPhone devices grow to 40-45 million units in 2010 from 20-21 million estimated this year, according to industry sources. The sources said OmniVision has secured 5-megapixel CIS orders for the next-generation iPhone model, which will hit shelves sometime during the second half of 2010.
OmniVision snatched 3.2-megapixel CIS orders for Apple's iPhone 3GS, beating out Aptina Imaging which supplies the 2-megapixel CIS solution for the iPhone 3G.
Including orders for iPods, the sources estimated OmniVision's total shipments to Apple at around 65 million units in 2009.
OmniVision is set to raise its CIS wafer starts at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) around the beginning of first-quarter 2010, according to the sources.
In other news, OmniVision returned to profitability in its fiscal second quarter ended October 31, 2009, following losses over the previous four quarters. The CIS vendor reported a profit of US$8.1 million for the fiscal second quarter from a loss of US$5.3 million a year ago.
