FPC camera module is a small size camera module mounted on the flexible circuit board. It's small, easy for design and assembly to mechanic. There's only the sensor and camer lens mounted then connect to the processor by flexible printed circuit(FPC) board. You will need to know the sensor very well yourself and your team need to have your own developing ability. As our camera module and optoelectronic manufacturing facilities we can provide camera lenses, camera modules solution and manufacturing even the processor development. We dispose of an unsurpassed design and development capacity. As the FPC camera board structure, we divide into 3 main sections:
Image sensor is the key part of camera module. It decides the major parameters and features including image pixels and resolution, frame rate, S/N ratio, dynamic range, sensitivity, functions and control command support, etc.
Main characteristics of camera lens: diameter size, image circle(image size for sensor), focal length, FOV(field view angle), pixel resolution, distortion, environment reliability requirements, and the additional optical filter request.
The camera module interface is a necessary pare for driving the sensor to work and connect to the processor. It's a software program can be controlled by the processor need to consider whether the processor driver can support, the data interface of the processor need. Because there are too many kinds of processor and the driver programed for each different one. You'd better choose the FPC camera interface meet your processor's requirements. IADIY major provides two popular interface DVP and MIPI CSI for our FPC cameras.
More information please review the tab of "DVP vs MIPI interface" and "Custom FPC camera" or custom camera module requirements flow.
CMOS image sensor interface divided into two catalogs, one is DVP (Digital Video Port) interface, the other is MIPI (Mobile Industry Processor Interface). The main difference between DVP and MIPI is that DVP is parallel interface and the MIPI interface is high speed differential serial interface. MIPI interface provide higher data band width than DVP interface and support higher resolution and frame rate. Because the complexity and need additional hardware of MIPI interface, we only discuss DVP interface here.

MIPI Alliance is an organization that develops interface specifications, the MIPI Camera Serial Interface was widely used in mobile industries. As this camera interface was high-performance, cost-effective. It was quickly expanded beyond the mobile industry. The MIPI camera module is separated with the DSP. It needs to program the firmware of DSP and using the grabber board to test in development and production.
As our camera module and optoelectronic manufacturing facilities we can provide camera lenses and customize all kinds of MIPI and DVP camera modules. For MIPI and DVP camera modules, you will need to know the sensor very well yourself and your team need to have your own developing ability.
You can customize the size of the PCB/FPC/FFC according to your actual needs.As for the lens, you can choose autofocus or fixed focus according to your actual needs, and the degrees of the FOV can also be chosen at will.
Also if you can define the pinouts yourself,it will be better, we will make a drawing for you to confirm before making the samples. Once the drawing is confirmed, we will handle the rest.
