Executive Summary
Micropix is a deep-tech startup specializing in next-generation optical solutions. They have developed a proprietary ultrathin camera module technology inspired by the compound eye structure of insects. By utilizing a microlens array (MLA), Micropix creates multifunctional cameras that are significantly thinner and more efficient than conventional lenses. Their core innovations include wide Field of View (FOV) cameras and multispectral scanning devices used for industrial machine vision, medical imaging, and mobile applications.
Core Competitiveness & Technology
Micropix's competitive edge lies in its biomimetic optical design, which mimics insect eyes to achieve high performance in a miniature form factor.

• Ultrathin Form Factor: Achieves a Total Track Length (TTL) of just 1mm, making it ideal for space-constrained devices like endoscopes and mobile robots.
• Compound Eye Structure: Uses a microlens array to capture images, allowing for infinite depth of field and high motion sensitivity.
• Cost & Size Reduction: Eliminates the need for bulky, multi-lens stacks found in traditional cameras, reducing both size and manufacturing costs.
  Key Products Showcase

• Wide FOV Camera Module
  A compact camera designed for applications requiring broad situational awareness without the bulk of fisheye lenses.

• Specs: 120° viewing angle with only 1mm TTL.

• Performance: Acquires black/white images at 10+ frames per second.
• Application: Machine vision, industrial inspection, robot navigation, and surveillance.

• Multispectral Camera
  A specialized imaging device capable of capturing data beyond the visible spectrum, crucial for material analysis and medical diagnostics.

• Specs: Captures 15 spectral bands within the 400-700nm range.

• Resolution: Approximately 1MP spatial resolution per channel.
• Application: Medical diagnostics (e.g., endoscopy), precision agriculture (crop health), and industrial quality control.
  Recent Milestones & Traction
• Dec 2024: Secured TIPS (Tech Incubator Program for Startup) R&D project selection from the Korean Ministry of SMEs and Startups.
• Nov 2024: Secured investment from The Invention Lab and BA Partners.
• Oct 2024: Established Corporate R&D Center; Selected as a cooperation startup by K-water (Korea Water Resources Corporation).
