I missed this news at the time. In October 2006 Siliconfile announced 5MP 2.25um pixel sensor. Potelligent quotes Digitimes on that:
"Siliconfile Technologies a fabless CMOS image sensor developer of South Korea, announced a 5-million pixel CMOS image sensor, the NOON500 LC50, Digital Times reported on October 18, 2006.
According to the company, the NOON500 LC50 is based on 2.25-micron pixel size and 1/2.5-inch optical format. The company added that the new sensor integrated ISP (Image Signal Processing) achieving DSC equivalent image quality in a camera phone. The device also supports Low Light Performance. The new sensor is available on a sample basis. The device is going to be available in the first half 2007.
Siliconfile recently debuted the NOON300 PC20, a 3.2-million pixel CMOS image sensor. The image sensor achieving 3 -micron pixel size and 1/2.3-inch optical format is going to be produced on Dongbu Electronics’ 0.18 micron process. Siliconfile has been supplying its flagship 2-million pixel CMOS image sensors to Japan and China actively since 2005. Sanyo Electric of Japan adopted Siliconfile’s 2-million pixel CMOS image sensors in the W42SA, a Sanyo Electric-supplied CDMA 2000 1x EV-DO handset for KDDI (au). The image sensor adopted in Sanyo’s W42SA is 12 mm x 12 mm x 7 mm in size while supporting auto focus.
The company plans to offer a wide range of mega pixel CMOS images sensors ranging from 1.3-million to 5-million pixels to compete against the CMOS image sensor leaders such as Micron and OmniVision.
Silicionfile achieved 13 billion won ($13.68 million @ won 950.38/$SU 1) revenue in 2005 and hopes to achieve 30 billion won ($31.57 million) revenue in 2006."
Worth noting that as of today, 4 months later, Siliconfile web site does not mention these new sensors, not even as PR, let alone product pages.
