(SHANGHAI, China，April 8, 2009) -Apexone Microelectronic, an innovative fabless company that provides high-performance mixed-signal ICs for interactive multimedia communication, announced that it has been granted two important patents - ZL 200820060606.4 and ZL 200820060644.X for its innovative optical navigation sensor module product series, which is the first structure related patent granted in optical sensor module by SIPO in PC peripheral equipment.

Apexone’s patented ZL 200820060606.4,based on overall structure design of the optical navigation module with the highest integration, smaller-size, lowest BOM cost, and lowest manufacturing labor costs: optical CMOS sensor, patented navigation DSP, ASIC-based MCU, PS2 or Crystal-free USB transceiver, picked LED, structure-patented LED lens, few surface mounted (SMT) capacitor and resistors are integrated in the structure.

The patented ZL 200820060644.X focused on connection solution of the mice manufacturing, with new sub-PCB and main-PCB connection structure, it realized “zero connection components” during the process.

Apexone’s newly launched “Optical Navigation Sensor Module” is new generation of mice product in PC peripheral equipment industry, which inherit unique crystal-free patented technology of the company and innovations on optical design, manufacturing method and assembly process.

Persistently concentrating on innovation and renovation, Apexone Microelectronics is developing the intellectual property as a strategic priority, the company has more than 100 patents-pending or technologies filing.
