Jabil Provides Snapshot of the Future with Breakthrough Camera Modules at Mobile World Congress 2010

BARCELONA, Spain – February 22, 2010 – Jabil Circuit, Inc. (NYSE: JBL), one of the world’s largest electronic manufacturing services (EMS) companies and leading vertically integrated mobility solutions provider, announced two important breakthroughs in system-on-chip (SOC) embedded camera technology at Mobile World Congress 2010. These new innovations meet a critical market need by enabling manufacturers to take full advantage of major opportunities at both ends of the mobile device spectrum. The MD6054A, a compact 5 megapixel (MP) SOC camera module with autofocus addresses growing consumer demand for high-end optics in an industry standard 8.5 x 8.5 x 6.0mm package, while the PW3625A, the first 2 megapixel SOC reflowable wafer-level camera module in the world, targets the huge, untapped market for low-cost mobile phones. Both were developed by Jabil’s Mobility sector group, Jabil | Green Point, which leveraged the expertise of Jabil | Sypro Optics, created from a joint venture with Carl Zeiss.
