Jae Young Solutec, a company specializing in optical components, announced on July 22 that it will invest 13 billion KRW in hybrid optical image stabilization (OIS) equipment.
With this investment, the company is expected to supply OIS not only for the existing Galaxy A26 model but also for its successor, which is scheduled for release in the second half of this year. Based on the Samsung Galaxy series, the number of cameras, which was only two in 2017, has now increased to three to five, driven by demand for high-quality photo and video shooting.
The company stated, "This is a strategic investment to respond to the trend of high-performance mobile cameras and the demand for differentiation within the Galaxy A models," adding, "By expanding our facilities, we will be able to broaden the application of hybrid OIS within the main lineups of our client companies and improve production efficiency."
Jae Young Solutec plans to proactively respond to market demand and changes in the product strategies of major clients based on its core optical technology. As high-performance cameras are being increasingly adopted from the Galaxy S models to the Galaxy A models, the company expects to achieve record-high results again this year.
