NEC has introduced a new camera engine CE 151 system-on-chip (SoC) for camera phones, with the idea to enable modern handsets to take high-quality images comparable to digital-still cameras. The CE 151 has an improved noise-reduction function for minimizing distortion caused by lenses, as well as the latest generation 1.1 micron sensors for recording still images and video frames. In addition, the upcoming camera phones equipped with CE 151 will be able to output full-HD (1080p) video stream and still image data up to 13 megapixels received by the CMOS sensor!
And that’s not all – energy consumption is approximately 25% lower than the existing CE143 product offering, while backward compatibility with previous NEC Electronics’ CE series products is preserved…
