OmniVision OV05C10 BSI Sensor Introduction
OmniVision, one of the leaders in advanced digital imaging solutions, has just announced the groundbreaking OV05C10, the industry’s first 5.2-megapixel Back-Side Illuminated (BSI) image sensor designed exclusively for 16:10 aspect ratio laptops. Currently, in the sampling phase, this innovative sensor is set to enter mass production in February 2024.
The OV05C10 boasts a range of features tailored for both mainstream and high-end laptops, tablets, and IoT devices. Notably, it supports interlaced High Dynamic Range (HDR), enhancing image quality for an immersive visual experience. The sensor’s auto-framing capability for video conferencing ensures dynamic adjustments to the camera’s field of view, keeping the speaker centered while intelligently cropping out distracting backgrounds.
A standout feature of the OV05C10 is its Human Presence Detection (HPD) support, a technology that not only enhances the efficiency of Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications but also contributes to extending the battery life of portable devices.

This low-power BSI image sensor, with a 1/4.7-inch size, leverages OmniVision’s PureCel Plus technology. This technology enables higher sensitivity, lower noise, and superior overall image quality. The OV05C10 introduces a double-exposure interlaced HDR option, capturing stunning visuals at 60 frames per second with a 5.2-megapixel resolution. Additionally, an ultra-low-power mode has been incorporated to support the HPD feature, further optimizing power consumption for extended device longevity.
In summary, OmniVision’s OV05C10 emerges as a trailblazing solution, addressing the specific needs of 16:10 aspect ratio laptops with cutting-edge features like HDR support, auto-framing for video conferencing, and Human Presence Detection. As the industry anticipates its mass production in February 2024, this sensor is poised to redefine imaging standards for a new era of portable devices.
