OUR ORIGIN
1999–2013 · MtekVision's beginnings (predecessor company)
Imaging semiconductors
Imaging semiconductors
that helped shape the camera-phone era.
Founded in 1999, MtekVision grew by developing key semiconductors for camera phones.
From camera image processing to mobile multimedia, our semiconductors accompanied the evolution of mobile phones.
