World's Thinnest CMOS Camera Module Demoed on Video

We spoke about how Sharp had invented the world's thinnest CMOS camera module and how it has been used in the SH–01D handset on NTT DoCoMo.

Now, the special functionality of that module has been shown on video.

In addition to all the capabilities that come naturally with being a 12.1 megapixel, 1080p module, Sharp implemented an optical image stabilization technology too.

Unfortunately, the module is exclusive to the SH-01D handset for now, which won't make it out of Japan (probably).

Other manufacturers will be able to adopt the module in their own inventions, though, starting next month (January, 2011).

Until then, sate your appetite for smooth and steady images by feasting your eyes on the video above.

The second video, showing a calendar, is up for viewing here.
