In a development that may provide a significant improvement in camera-phone picture quality, semiconductor maker OmniVision Technologies Inc. said it has developed a "radically different" image sensor that can squeeze many more pixels on a tiny chip.
OmniVision, which last year became the leading supplier of image sensors for the world's handset makers, said it expects eight-megapixel sensors will start appearing in high-end phones in 2009. Currently, almost all camera phones have sensors of three megapixels or less.
