Sharp's slim 12.1 megapixel CMOS sensor to further trim smartphone silhouettes

Sharp's slim 12.1 megapixel CMOS sensor to further trim smartphone silhouettes

Mobile waistbands are about to get tighter. Sharp's taking that whole thin is in thing to the extreme with its just outed 12.1 megapixel, 1x3.2-inch CMOS camera module. Measuring in at 5.47 millimeters thick, this component's set to ship out to manufacturers for ¥1,200 apiece (about $154) starting tomorrow and is, apparently, the result of overwhelming demand for anorexic handsets - we're looking at you, dear readers. Okay, not really. The company actually claims its "proprietary high-density packaging technology" (jargon, much?) is responsible for this slimmed-down image sensor that's capable of full 1080p HD capture.
