CMOS Image Sensors: Technologies & Markets - 2010. Image sensors have come a long way since the first introduction of CCD sensor technology in the 1990’s. They made a big jump in the 2000’s with the introduction of CMOS sensor technology which gave birth to the low-cost, high volume camera phone market. Image sensors are now part of our everyday life: from cell-phone cameras, to notebook webcams, digital cameras, video camcorders to security & surveillance systems. In the future, new markets are also emerging such as sensors for medical applications, automotive security features, but also gaming and home TV webcams … The reason why we are now releasing our first report on the CMOS image sensor industry is that we feel that we are at an historic turning point for this young, but still maturing industry.
