Japanese 311 earthquake strikes CMOS image sensor industry

IHS iSuppli's research shows that the 311 earthquake in Japan is impacting the production of CMOS image sensors at two factories in Japan, affecting the production and distribution of cell phone cameras.

Toshiba's Iwate image sensor factory has been shut down. It produces logic chips and CMOS image sensors for mobile phone cameras. Similarly, Sony's CMOS image sensors for mobile phone OEMs have also delayed shipments.

According to IHS iSuppli's preliminary estimate, Toshiba is the fifth largest supplier of mobile phone image sensors in the world in 2010, accounting for 13.1% of global sales. Sony ranked sixth with a market share of 3.9%. Last year, the two companies together accounted for 17% of global mobile phone digital camera image sensor sales.

Although the production and distribution of CMOS image sensors have been affected, the supply of CCD, another major image sensor technology, appears to be unaffected, at least in the short term. Japanese suppliers such as Sony, Panasonic, Fujifilm, Sharp and Toshiba control the global CCD market.

Due to the higher image quality, CCDs are commonly used in digital cameras. On the contrary, lower-cost CMOS sensors are mainly used in mobile phones and other products. For these products, shooting is a secondary function.

Hua Jing and Canon Enterprises are Taiwan's digital camera manufacturers and OEM for major Japanese brands. The two companies stated that there has been no shortage of CCD supply from Japan in the near future. Canon's 90% of CCD devices come from Sony, and Huajing's 70-80% of CCD devices come from Sharp. Sharp's Japan CCD factory is far from the hardest hit, and Sony's CDD factory is located in Thailand.

Therefore, CCD supply should not be a problem in the short term. However, in the long term, the situation may change because the upstream material supply of the CCD manufacturer may be in a situation where it may face transportation and power problems.

Due to the impact of the earthquake, Japanese digital camera brands such as Panasonic, Canon and Nikon were forced to close some of the high-end production lines of digital cameras in Japan. These companies pointed out that since their low-end consumer models are mainly produced in factories in China and Thailand, or outsourced to Taiwanese companies, it is not expected that the earthquake will have a serious impact on these products.

Wall AP Wireless AP

What is an wall ap? In life, many times we will encounter a bad network situation, generally when the network is bad will affect everyone's mood, everyone likes the situation of network unobstructed, so will go to find a way to keep the network smooth, and wall ap can help you keep the network unobstructed, let's take a look.
1. wall ap
What is the wall ap is a lot of people want to know the problem, wall ap can let everyone's network has been smooth, wall ap is the most important part of the networking, wall ap and the socket at home, you can transmit signals through the wall ap, but want to really use the wall ap you need to install some network cables in each room in advance.
In other words, the wall ap can be directly called a Wireless Router, the wall ap can be used as the antenna of the router, if you put the wall ap in the room, then the signal in the room will be strengthened, but now people prefer the wireless router, so the wall ap also needs POE and AC two devices to assist.
2. AC
AC machine is the most common kind of router, it is very different from ordinary router, can not be used by simple insertion, but need to be set up several times to connect to the network, but also need to be combined with the wall ap to be better used, so the wall ap is very important. The combination of router and wall ap can enhance the network signal.
3. ap networking scheme
The ap networking scheme not only requires the wall ap, but also needs to add the control system, you can choose commercial, you can also choose home, for the network signal requirements of relatively high enterprises can choose commercial, before choosing the networking mode need to be carefully considered.
