Taiwan Notebook OEMs Want to Design Image Sensors In-House

Digitimes: Leading notebook OEMs in Taiwan, including Quanta Computer, are said to be growing their in-house CMOS image sensor development, according to Digitimes sources at CMOS image sensor vendors. As built-in webcams are gaining penetration in notebooks, some OEMs have considered increasing their own CMOS image sensor development to cut costs, the sources explained.

Quanta responded that it will not strategically devote specialized efforts on CMOS image sensor development, and is still placing component orders in accordance to bookings.
