DigitalOptics enlists Lite-On for MEMS camera production

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/08/digitaloptics-mems-actuator.jpgFive months after DigitalOptics Corporation’s memscam shooter made its debut at MWC, it has a production contract. Lite-On, the company known for budget Blu-ray drives and moldable mice, plans to start production of the Lytro-like mobile imaging device later this year and hit “high volume capacity” sometime in 2014. We left MWC impressed by the MEMS’ (microelectromechanical system) 10ms settling time and are curious where this clever contraption could wind up. Speaking of which, Lite-On assures us that its “Chinese Smartphone customers” are interested.
