CMOS image sensor designer, owner of the former US OmniVision brand, supplying camera chips for phones, cars and security cameras.
Designs the sensors and has them built by outside chip factories, selling to phone, car and camera makers mostly through distributors, so a design win secures volume for a product's life. Shanghai-based Will Semiconductor took over the US company OmniVision in 2019 and later renamed itself after it.
In one line: Formerly a Nasdaq company (OmniVision Technologies), now Chinese-owned.
Moat: narrow (IP / patents, customer qualification). Decades of CMOS sensor IP and design wins, especially in automotive, where qualification cycles are long.
Headquarters: Shanghai, China · Founded: 2000 · Employees: 6,160
