Dongbu HiTek announced that it has begun supplying CCTV image sensors to Brigates Inc. Currently supplying Brigates with D1 resolution (0.44 Mpixel) CMOS image sensors, the Korean specialty foundry expects to develop higher HD 720P resolution sensors with Brigates in the second-half of 2014. Dongbu HiTek's continuing collaboration with Brigates is expected to produce an HD 720P CMOS image sensor that supports China's growing demand for higher resolution CCTV facial recognition and license plate identification. Dongbu HiTek is well positioned to support Chinese fabless customers with specialty chips and foundry services from its offices in Shanghai, Beijing and Shenzhen.
