Smartphone-use lens module maker Largan Precision has reported consolidated revenues of NT$5.616 billion (US$187 million) for November, the highest monthly level so far in 2017 with growth of 0.05% on month and 7.84% on year.
Of the lens modules shipped in November, above 10-megapixel models accounted for 60-70% of the revenues, 8- to 10-megapixel 10-20%, and 5- to below 8-megapixel plus others 0-10%.
Largan expects consolidated revenues for December to decrease sequentially based on orders received.
Smartphone vendors, to highlight product differentiation, tend to adopt dual-lens for both rear cameras and front cameras, plus 3D sensing cameras for flagship models. That means, a flagship smartphone could feature five lens modules, market analysts remarked, adding Largan will benefit from the trend.
Largan reported consolidated revenues of NT$48.26 billion for January-November, increasing 12.48% on year.
