iSuppli: BSI Sensors in 90% of Smartphones by 2014

ForexPros, Balkan.com and many other sites published an article on BSI sensor becoming dominant in the near future. Some interesting quotes:

"Needham & Co analyst Rajvindra Gill expects BSI sensors to be the predominant image sensors for smartphones within 2 years or so.

By 2014, 9 out of 10 smartphones and feature handsets will have BSI image sensors, up from fewer than one fifth today, predicts IHS iSuppli's Pamela Tufegdzic.

Analysts reckon the CMOS image sensor market is worth around $3 billion, and BSI sensors make up about 5 percent of that now."

"OmniVision, which said in November it was already pursuing design wins for its second-generation BSI chip, is about 6-9 months ahead of its nearest competitors."
