Eyesquad Joins Tessera

Many report about the new Tessera aquisition, but the most informative article on Eyesquad technology is published by Electronics Weekly:

The key to Eyesquad’s autofocus technology is that it uses non-mechanical techniques. “The technology is designed to open up new, high volume market opportunities,” said Tessera.

According to Bruce McWilliams, Tessera’s chairman and CEO: “Eyesquad’s proprietary lens design and image processing technologies make it possible for all objects from 10 cm to infinity to be brought into focus automatically and simultaneously.”

The absence of moving parts means the technique can provide size, cost, reliability and power advantages over existing mechanical technologies for focus and zoom. “This is particularly important for small form factor, high volume electronics such as camera phones,” said McWilliams.
